Pearle Maaney
has been committed doing “Kappiri Thuruthu,” a Malayalam film to be directed by
Saheer Ali
, a debutant. The film will showcase the past glory of the city. In this movie, Pearle plays a Jewish girl, who settled in Kochi. Already Pearle doesn't have a Malayali look. So, the director might have preferred her to play the lead role. She has been learning Fort Kochi language for her new film. The Jews in Kochi lived like Malayalis and hence the director requested her to learn the ancient Fort Kochi slang. As per the script, she falls in love with
Adil Ibrahim
, who is a Malayali. They both are hosting a dance reality show at present. When asked about the film, Pearle said that she fell in love with the script at once she heard it. The director says that Kochi had a variety of people with different culture. However, there was discrimination between the dark skinned Jews and the normal Jews. The director says that although the film shows the culture of Kochi, it is not an art film.
