A visit to the destroyed set of Minnal Murali movie

Manu Jagath, production designer of Minnal Murali who created the church set which was vandalised by right wing activists, speaks on how he created the set. "For every artist, their art is like a baby and it gives them so much satisfaction to see it on the big screen. While designing the set of Minnal Murali, we did a lot of brainstorming to ensure it didn’t resemble any of the previous works or existing models. It isn’t easy for people like us to be home for so long during the lockdown without doing anything. We are already facing uncertainty and this has caused more dilemma. I now only have contempt for what they did to my craft. I was shocked to see it on Sunday, when I went to the place without knowing what had happened,"he says.
