Ashik Jinu, the 12-year-old filmmaker who made the short film Peedika and numerous other shorts and documentaries, is awaiting the release of his feature-length project, Eva.

Ashik is the son of screenwriter and filmmaker Jinu Xavier Edappally, who plays the main antagonist in Eva. The film has a story and screenplay by Jinu. 

Eva is billed as a commercial entertainer produced by Sunisha N. The team is aiming for a theatrical release.
