Maranamas There is a crazy curse, with a thick crew of crazy characters, which director Shivprasad has called ‘a story from an experimental point of view’.

“The film is mainly due to relationships and familiarity that I am with the team. Then there is a story and setting with the serial killer that I found interesting.
