Movies with innovative themes are not new in malayalam film industry. Adding one more to the line of movies with novel thoughts, here comes Anguram (The Sprout), directed by T Deepesh. The movie discusses the theme of virtues verses vices and highlights on the concept of righteous living. As 'Anguram' was shot mostly in Wayanad, forest and nature play a prominent part in the movie.

Much interestingly, a cat named Manikuttan plays the central character. Being an inventive attempt, Anguram will also be a novel experience for moviegoers in Kerala. More than an entertainer, the movie discusses relevant things in a very sensitive manner. It tries to delve into the concepts of virtues and sins and tries to convey the message that righteousness will survive even death.

Bipin Emily and Devi Ajith have given life to prominent characters in the movie. Anguram is being produced by Rithika Kandhari & Joe Ann under Designers Productions banner. The story and screenplay is handled by Valsalan Vathusseri, while the camera stayed safe in the hands of Jaleel Badusha. The music has been set by Madhu Govind.
