Sreejith Babu

Sreejith Babu, yeah, that guy’s been popping up in some wild Malayalam films lately. You might’ve caught his name in the credits of “Painkili” (that one’s coming in 2025, so hype’s just starting), “Kalla Nottam” from 2020, or the trippy “Aavasavyuham” from 2022. Each flick? Couldn’t be more different, honestly. “Kalla Nottam” spins around a couple of kids swiping a camera and stumbling into a world way bigger than they expected – think innocence clashing with the blurry lines of right and wrong, all through this quirky, handheld lens. Sreejith’s presence in that film? Quiet, but sharp. Not over-the-top, just lets the story breathe. Jump over to “Aavasavyuham,” and it’s a whole other universe. The movie dives deep into environmental chaos and society’s weird obsession with outsiders. There’s a heavy dose of satire, and Sreejith sort of blends into this ensemble, but you can’t help noticing the way he holds a scene—never trying to steal the show, but always adding this undercurrent of tension or humor. And then there’s “Painkili.” Not out yet, but the buzz says it’s going to crank up his range even more. Word is, he’s tackling a role that’s both raw and super relatable, digging into emotions most movies barely touch. Altogether, Sreejith Babu’s filmography isn’t some cookie-cutter hero stuff—it’s layered and unpredictable, and, let’s be real, Malayalam cinema’s way more interesting with him in the mix.
