Directed by debutant Nithish Sahadev, Falimy deals with a dysfunctional family that is forced to embark on a trip through Rajasthan and Varanasi and their attempts at figuring out long-standing personal grudges and regrets. “We had a great time acting in this film because there is a similarity in our performance style that allows us to easily make people laugh even in serious situations. I think all actors including Jagadeesh sir and Manju ma’am had a similar task of being subtle yet breaking out of that mould in important scenes where our humorous side is supposed to be on show. For instance, in a scene where the son is shouting at his parents, a particular hand gesture or body language will be made to ensure that the reactions are in a lighter tone. There is this delicate balance in crafting such a performance but when you are acting alongside such great talent, it becomes a natural process.”
Basil is also all praises for his co-actors, especially Jagadeesh for his portrayal of a curmudgeonly father, a unique part for the actor mostly known for his comic roles. Basil says, “I was amazed at Manju ma’am and Jagadeesh sir’s commitment to the roles. We had to go through many difficult working conditions in Rajasthan and Varanasi, but they were always ready to go the extra mile.”
