Geethu Mohandas' directorial ‘Moothon’, that grabbed the attention at several international film festivals, was screened at FFAST, South Asian film festival in Paris on Tuesday. Nivin Pauly who played the lead in the movie shared the happy news on his Instagram page.

The actor and director are in Paris. Confirming their participation in the festival, Nivin shared a picture. In the pic, Nivin and Geetu are seen holding the poster of FFAST. “Moothon premiering at FFAST in Paris today”, Nivin captioned the pic.

'Moothon' directed by Geetu Mohandas, is arguably the first homosexual love story in Malayalam. The film followed the journey of a kid in search of her older sibling who left his hometown many years ago under mysterious circumstances. The bilingual film was shot mostly on the islands of Lakshadweep, where the story is based.

The movie starred Nivin Pauly, Rosshan, Sanjana Dipu and Dileesh Pothan in lead roles. 'Moothon' marked Nivin's transformation into a versatile performer and gave out a bold statement, which was welcomed by the Kerala audience as well.
