According to a recent interview to a Malayalam magazine, Sai Pallavi opened up about her fascination for Mollywood. She said she has high regard for Malayalam movies as even commercial movies are made with high artistic quotient in Mollywood. The actress said she was greatly impressed by the recently released movie Kumbalangi Nights.

She said there was some delay in doing a Malayalam movie after Kali as she wanted to dub for her character. She said the director of Athiran, Vivek, assured her that she does not have much dialogues and she could dub for her character. Talking about her co-star in the movie, Fahadh Faasil, Sai Pallavi said while he is fun to be around on the film sets, he becomes a whole new person and gets into the skin of the character once he is in front of the camera and hears the word 'action'. Directed by Vivek, Athiran has been written by PF Mathews (Ee.Ma.Yau). The story is by Vivek. Produced by Century Investments, the film also stars Atul Kulkarni, Renji Panicker, Shanti Krishna, Prakash Raj, Surabhi and Sudev, and is scheduled to be released on April 12.
