Curiosità

Sufiyum Sujatayum is a 2020 Indian Malayalam-language romantic drama film. It is written and directed by Naranipuzha Shanavas, and produced by Vijay Babu under his production company Friday Film House. It stars Jayasurya in the lead role along with Dev Mohan and Aditi Rao Hydari in the title roles. It was released on Amazon Prime Video on 3 July 2020. Actor Dev Mohan made his debut through this film.

Production

Sufiyum Sujatayum is directed by Naranipuzha Shanavas, known for his debut directorial Karie (2015). Producer Vijay Babu watched a preview screening of Karie and liked Shanavas' direction. After the premiere, Shanavas narrated the film's story to Babu and insisted him to act in the lead role. But as Babu insisted to elevate the story further, the scope of the project became bigger with the inclusion of Aditi Rao Hydari and composer M.

Vijay Babu narrated the film's script to Jayasurya in mid-2019, which made the latter emotional; he described it as "a moment that he did not see on screen" expressing the emotional quotient of the film and did not read the script due to his confidence on it. The film marked Aditi Rao Hydari's return to Malayalam cinema after 14 years since Prajapathi (2006).

Dev Mohan made his acting debut with the film. He auditioned for his role as Sufi in late-2017, and eventually selected for the role. For his character, he practised the moves of whirling—a Sufi meditation practiced by dervishing orders in circles—by watching videos in YouTube; Mohan described it as a difficult process as he used to feel dizzy and took him nine months for practising it. He also learnt Arabic for the character.

The film was officially announced on 20 September 2019, with principal photography commencing the same day. Anu Moothedath handled the cinematography. The film was shot in three locations across Gundlupet, Karnataka and Kerala; according to Moothedath, Aboob's house was set in Karnataka and Sujata's in Kerala. The river scenes were shot in Attappadi.

Aditi Rao Hydari was trained in sign language by Livin C. Lonakutty.
