Newbie Sivakami plays a writer in a film on suicide abetment

Actress Sivakami

, who has the film Laila coming up with Antony Varghese, will also be seen in the upcoming film Section 306 IPC, directed by Sreenath Siva.

The film’s shoot is over and the post production works are progressing at the moment.
Director Sreenath tells us, “Sivakami plays a writer named

Aswathy Melepatt

, whose personality is inspired from that of Kamala Das. Aswathy is a new-generation girl and something she mentions in her new novel, titled The Murmuring Sky, invites controversy. She gets criticised for it from many circuits, prompting her to end her life.”

The film also has veteran actress Shanthi Krishna appearing as a lawyer and Renji Panicker as a public prosecutor. Sreenath explains, “The story of this film isn’t solely based on any particular character. What it focuses on is how in the contemporary Malayali life, abetment to suicide can happen due to insistence on following customs and how the court looks at it. That’s why it’s named Section 306 IPC.” The film also has
