Nivin Pauly is all set to enchant audiences this Christmas with Sarvam Maya, a unique blend of romance, fantasy, and humor, wrapped in a ghostly narrative. Directed by Akhil Sathyan, who previously helmed Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum, the film promises a fresh take on the horror-comedy genre. The first-look poster, featuring Nivin with sacred ash on his forehead and a curious upward gaze, has already sparked intrigue. With a talented cast including Preity Mukhundhan, Riya Shibu, and Aju Varghese, the film is poised to be a festive treat.
What sets Sarvam Maya apart is its musical romantic core intertwined with supernatural elements. Akhil Sathyan, who also edits the film, describes it as a whimsical tale centered around a ghost, blending fantasy and humor seamlessly. The presence of veteran actors like Janardanan and Vineeth, along with screenwriter Raghunath Paleri, adds depth to the ensemble. The film’s quirky premise—a ghostly love story with laughs—could redefine how Malayalam cinema approaches the genre.
Behind the scenes, the technical team from PAV reunites, ensuring visual and auditory excellence. Cinematographer Sharan Velayudhan, music director Justin Prabhakaran, and production designer Rajeevan bring their signature styles to the project. Notably, the collaboration between Fire Fly Films and Akhil’s own production label highlights the film’s creative independence. With such a strong team, Sarvam Maya aims to deliver both spectacle and substance.
As anticipation builds, Nivin Pauly’s playful X post—”The Ghost next door!”—hints at a mischievous yet heartfelt narrative. With Preity Mukhundhan’s rising star power post-Kannappa and Aju Varghese’s comedic timing, the film balances scares with charm. Slated for a Christmas 2025 release, Sarvam Maya could be the perfect blend of eerie and endearing, making it one of the most awaited Malayalam films of the year.
