I enjoyed working in Maniyarayile Ashokan as AD: Anupama Parameshwaran

Song of Maniyarayile Ashokan, Unnimaye, sung by Dulquer Salmaan and Gregory which was released on Dulquer's birthday is still trending online. The movie is going to Gregory's first film in a lead role and it also features Anupama Parameshwaran as Shoba, the female lead.
Talking about working in the movie not only as the female protagonist but also as an assistant director,Anupama says, "Dulquer and I have been good friends and I had just eight days of shoot for the movie.We all bonded really well. So, when I completed the shoot and returned home, I started missing them all. While talking to Dulquer, he reminded me about my desire to direct films and asked why not join the sets as assistant director. I quickly took it as an invitation and grabbed the opportunity. I was part of filmmaking and post production work. Gregory is a sweetheart and Shyama, my character is really interesting."
She also revealed that she was always excited to know how a film is being made. "To be really frank, I have been always fascinated about what's happening behind the screen. I believe the magic happens there and while working as AD in Maniyarayile Ashokan, I never felt tired or never bothered about tan or injury. That was the most exciting days of my life. While going to sleep, I used to be fully satisfied. I have been asking since Premam if I could assist Alphonsettan if I could assist him in his next. I think, it's the technical aspect of the movie that makes it The Film. I wish I could direct a movie at some point of my life," she adds.
