Senna Hegde is not one to sit on his laurels. The director, who won the national award for the best Malayalam film for his Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam, is busy finishing 1744 White Alto and plans to start shooting for Padmini in September. In the meantime, he is also planning a sequel for Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam, which caught the attention of viewers for its theme, treatment and Malayalam dialogues in the Kasaragod dialect. Moreover, it was set and shot in Kanhangad, mostly with a cast and crew who hailed from there.
Says Senna: “ 1744 White Alto is not a film like that. It has been shot in Kasaragod but it could have been made anywhere in Kerala. It is a crime comedy about two white Alto cars that get swtiched; one belongs to a person wanted by the police.”
