“We hope more beautiful and unique movies will come out of Saudi Arabia that will tell more about its history and rich culture, which the world knows little about.” The hospitality extended to us is outstanding. “This helped us learn more about Saudi Arabia as a country, as well as its culture. “Apart from the film festival, we were lucky to be given tours of the historic parts of Jeddah, museums and other places,” he said. Lukose said his knowledge of Saudi Arabia was limited before the event but he was quickly overwhelmed by the warmth of the greeting he received from the city and its people. Sharing his thoughts on his experience of the festival so far, the filmmaker said: “Initially, we didn’t have any clue how the inaugural film festival would be but we were blown away by its scale and grandeur.” “It will be highly encouraging for us,” he added. Lukose, who is in Jeddah for the screening of the film, said he hopes Saudis and the Indian diaspora will pack the cinema during the screenings of the film. The film is produced by Raj Rachakonda and Anurag Kashyap. The plot of “Paka,” which stars starring Basil Paulose, Vinitha Koshy, Nithin George, Abhilash Nair, Athul John, Jose Kizhakkkan, Mariyakkutty and Joseph Manikkal, revolves around two feuding families and a young couple that tries to overcome their families’ hatred through love. “Paka” is the only Indian film in the Malayalam language selected for screening during the festival. “Being selected in the Competition category, among 16 films from around the world, is a dream come true for us.” “We are honored to be the lone Indian film to be selected for the inaugural Red Sea International Film Festival 2021,” he said. JEDDAH: On the eve of the Arab premiere of his debut feature, “Paka (River of Blood),” which is screening in competition at the Red Sea International Film Festival, writer-director Nithin Lukose spoke of the “honor” of his film being chosen for the event in Jeddah.
