Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Chithini draws from Yakshi folklore, but subverts the seductive temptress trope — this fairy is furious, not flirty. East Coast Vijayan specifically wanted a 'grandmother's tale' energy.
The Pamukkadu location required a 3-hour trek daily; Mokksha refused a body double for the marsh scenes, reportedly saying 'Chithini would wade through worse.'
