facebook Pintrest Bengali Filmmaker’s Malayalam film ‘Katti Nrittam’ is reaching its last leg of shooting after a long wait of one year. Aneek Chaudhuri started the shoot of the film in November 2019 and completed 80 percent of the film’s shoot by March 2020; then, the lockdown happened. 'Katti Nrittam' derives its name from Kathi Vesham (used in Kathakali referring to diabolic characters in the art form) and in this film, if we go by its literal meaning, it states ‘knife dance’. Katti Nrittam is a modern-day take on Mahabharata from a female gaze. As per Aneek, “The epics, mythology evolve with time; it changes the era from being patriarchal to an equal society. This film is all about Draupadi’s revenge and here, we have portrayed Ved Vyas as a female.”
