Naman Ramachandran Indian actor Kani Kusruti, who recently gained attention for her performances in Cannes winner “All We Imagine as Light” and Sundance winner “Girls Will Be Girls,” is stepping into production with the Malayalam-language drama “Guptam” (aka “The Last of Them Plagues”).

The film marks the directorial debut of Kunjila Mascillamani and is being co-produced by Mankind Cinemas, the banner behind “The Great Indian Kitchen,” with filmmaker Jeo Baby.

The project was at the recently concluded Film Bazaar, part of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI). The film centers on Sethulekshmi, a single mother whose younger daughter disappears during a visit to her husband’s grave.

When police investigations prove futile, she relocates to the area with her elder daughter Neela, facing hostility from a conservative community while Neela finds love with a deaf boy at a local school.
