Malayalam cinema continues to push boundaries, and Theatre: The Myth of Reality is the latest film to do so. Directed by National Award-winner Sajin Babu, the film places Rima Kallingal at its heart, playing a woman caught in a terrifying swirl of belief and suspicion. Her fellow villagers are convinced that an age-old curse shadows her every step, blurring the distinction between superstition and truth.

Unveiled earlier this year with a trailer launch at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, the project has already piqued international curiosity. The story probes a fragile territory where folklore and reality overlap, and where fear can be as powerful as fact. Pramod Veliyanad joins Rima in a key role that shapes this haunting narrative.
