Ntikkakkakkoru Premandaarnnu marks Bhavana’s return to Malayalam cinema after five years. Her last Malayalam film was Adam Joan which was released in 2017. The actor took a break from Mollywood after being sexually assaulted. She was kidnapped and assaulted by a group of men in February 2017 while she was travelling from Thrissur to Kochi. The investigation led to Dileep, one of Malayalam film industry’s biggest actors, being named as an accused.
Speaking to journalist Barkha Dutt at an event, Bhavana had shared why she refused many offers that came her way to work in Malayalam cinema. She said, “After the incident, many offered me work and insisted I come back (to work). Aashiq Abu, Prithviraj, Jayasurya and others offered me work but I turned them down because I couldn’t come back to this industry and work as if nothing had happened. I was not in the right state of mind. I worked in other language films. Now, I have also started listening to Malayalam scripts.”
