Malayalam film “Aickarakkonathe Bhishaguaranmaar” has gained popularity as the only film to be nominated from India for the Rome Prisma Awards. The film, which is headed by marine engineer Sohan Roy, and produced by UAE-based Aries Group, is a CSR initiative as the team committed 75 per cent of the revenue from the film for building homes of those who lost their dwellings in the floods that hit the state last year.

The movie follows the life of common people in a village named 'Aickarakkonam' that traces the 5000 year old system of natural healing called Ayurveda, which is enjoying a major resurgence across the globe. The film, directed by Biju Majeed, features 175 new faces. The winner will be declared on April 4.
