According to Vipin, he respects Anaswara Rajan's professionalism and capability to perform. He stated, "I just need to give her a briefing about a scene, and she does it brilliantly and keeps the emotional continuity for the next scenes without any prompting." The filmmaker, who made his directorial debut with Vysanasametham Bandhumithradhikal, added that every actor's on-screen performance surprised him, and it is difficult to pick the best one among them.
Azees Nedumangad, for example, studied the local store proprietors and skillfully mimicked their demeanour on screen. He also mentioned how successfully Joemon Jyothir adapted to his quirky role of Shakthi.
The director further commented that Mallika Sukumaran and Baiju Santhosh performed their parts with ease. 'Acting on reactions, in my opinion, is a true ability, and the impact would be greater,' Vipin stated. He claimed that he prefers actors to perform according to the script and does not support impromptu alterations while filming. He did, however, allow some modifications, such as Joemon's character startling an elderly guy by abruptly revving up his motorbike.
The screenplay for Vysanasametham Bandhumithradhikal, which is based on a funeral and the surrounding circumstances, was written by the director himself.
When writing the script, Vipin said he did not have any actors in mind. "I like to pick the appropriate ones once the screenplay is finished and the project is underway," he remarked. The debutante went on to remark that he thinks a strong story is more vital than writing for a specific star. He continued, "You would be able to decide who is best suited for it after writing a script."

Janaki vs State of Kerala director questions CBFC's demand to change name: They could have had a different perspective
Jul 03, 2025 12:06 PM IST The makers of Malayalam film Janaki vs State of Kerala have moved Kerala High Court to oppose the demand of Central Board of Film Certification to change the name of the film as it is the name of Goddess Sita and the titular character is a rape survivor. Directed by Pravin Narayanan, the film stars Suresh Gopi and Anupama Parameswaran. Director Pravin Narayanan talks about CBFC's demand to change the film's title. Pravin feels that CBFC should look at the film from a different perspective. 'We accept that Janaki is also another name for goddess Sita, but it's such a common name used in many parts of the country. through our movie we never tried to defame Goddess Sita or any other belief system reluctant in our country.'

CBFC is also facing opposition from film body Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMAA) Joy Mathew, Member Ad hoc committee, AMMA, says, 'What a Joke! Most of the people, films in our country and even the government give name from our itihas and traditions. Then why should CBFC say this? They always want to change most of the dialogues mentioning Janaki. It looks like matter of ego, otherwise there is no reason for them to do it because most of the films carry names like Sita, Ram, Mohammad, George and so on.' Adding to this Pravin asserts, 'Janaki's name is used throughout the movie and in dialogues spoken by many leading actors in the movie and her name is shown multiple times in the visuals.' The High Court's decision on the film is expected soon and the makers are hoping for a positive reply
