As multiple characters in the movie encounter strange supernatural events around this haunted curve, the story unravels a dark mystery blurring the line between myth and reality, grief and fear, past and present.

The film will also be available dubbed in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi, ensuring that audiences worldwide can immerse themselves in this chilling tale.
Talking about the film, Director Vishnu Sasi Shankar said, “Sumathi Valavu is rooted in Kerala’s folklore but crafted for a contemporary audience. It’s not just about scares; it’s about the human emotions that linger in places tied to tragedy."
He added, "Through this film, I wanted to bring out the tension between memory, myth, and mystery. ZEE5 Global gives us the perfect platform to reach audiences everywhere who love layered, atmospheric storytelling.”
The film's lead actor, Arjun Ashokan, added, “This film is very special because it intertwines supernatural intrigue with raw wit and
emotions. Playing a character caught in this haunted space allowed me to explore fear, vulnerability, and courage in a way I hadn’t before."
