For Ved Sunil, his first film, The story of the cake, Is special. It is not only his first film as an actor, but also as a writer. She admits that the acting was not what she had prepared to do. Although now that he has acted, he is open to it, “But only after release. Let’s see later!” Vedas say on the phone.
“I am more inclined towards direction, I started assisting my father, Sunil as 13 years old. I was eager about filmmaking, when I told him that, he advised me to advise me to join him. TatvamasiI grew up around films, and it was only natural for me to be curious about films. I wanted to understand the technical aspects of filmmaking, “27 -year -old Vedas. Veda, who was being done homescools, spent time on the set as an assistant director. She is writing poetry and short stories, so writing is not new to her.
Her father, Sunil has made such films Manthe Kottram, Aagonia thumbrakkal, Old man, Priypeta kukku, Bharankutam And Gandhiri Among others.
The story is inspired by what most people were doing during epidemic and lockdown -baking. When he suggested a view to his father, he asked him to move forward with the script. The hero of the film is a cake. This is an unconventional theme, he agrees, “but it is a love story that pies on a cake or rather bakers. The story is not linear, it goes from the present to the past. It moves through a baker, Naina, character I essay and his grandfather’s past.” Like everyone, she admits that she also cooked some cakes “like everyone.”
Since she did not write the script with herself as the lead, how did she come in it? “We auditioned many actors for Naina’s role, but we did not get an actor who fit the role. This is when my father’s friends suggested my name. I was not sure about it, so I did a video and I am here,” she laughs.
The actors include Mallika Sukumaran, Arun Kumar, Babu Antony, Johnny Antony and Ashokan.
The story of the cake was released on April 19.
