Balan, the Manjummel Boys director's next, gets a Cannes market slot
Manjummel Boys director Chidambaram's follow-up Balan: The Boy gets a May 14 market slot at the Marché du Film, before any India release has been set.
Chidambaram, the director behind 2024 Malayalam blockbuster Manjummel Boys, is taking his next film, Balan: The Boy, to the Marché du Film at Cannes. A market screening is set for May 14 at 20:00, Olympia 9, ahead of any Indian release date.
The film is written by Jithu Madhavan (Aavesham), shot by Shyju Khalid, scored by Sushin Syam, designed by Ajayan Chalissery and edited by Vivek Harshan. KVN Productions and Thespian Films are producing. The cast is built entirely from auditioned newcomers, the same pattern Chidambaram used on Manjummel Boys. The Marché slot is a market screening rather than an official festival selection, but it puts the film in front of international distributors before any home rollout.
