Pooram festival in Thrissur is the biggest festival in the Universe, attended by a million people every year. This festival runs for a week. There are thousands of artists playing hundreds of instruments in the event, and the atmosphere will be absolutely electric and totally magical.
It has been Resul Pookutty’s real-life dream to record the sounds of Pooram live. This movie is about a sound designer who wants to capture the sounds of this festival in his mike and record it. To our delight and honour, Resul Pookutty plays this sound designer role. This movie is titled ‘Oru Kadhai Sollattumaa’. I am so proud Resul Pookutty chose this script to make his acting debut.
Over 80 technicians from Hollywood and Bollywood worked tirelessly in capturing the sounds of Pooram live for our movie. The camera team have captured over 300 live performing artists using 22 cameras. This movie will be such an experience that one can watch it even with their eyes closed. The sounds and the narration will convey the festival, moods and the story so brilliantly.
The music of the film is by Rahul Raj, and Vairamuthu has penned the lyrics. This movie is made in four languages with Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi being the other three. I am so excited about the outcome and can’t wait for the audience to witness the experience that we have achieved to bring out.”

Since sound is a very important component of this festival, he has taken the help of Oscar winning sound designer Resul Pookutty to capture the minutest sound of the festival. As per reports, under the supervision of Resul Pookutty, more than 80 technicians from Hollywood and Bollywood have already begun work. They would separately capture the sound of instruments, both in isolation and during the Pooram. Unni Malayil is the cameraman deputed for this purpose
Another team is involved in filming preparations of the festival like cleaning of ponds, poojas, meetings, parasol-making and the construction of the pandal.
