Actors Parvathy Thiruvothu and Nithya Menen’s latest social media posts took fans by surprise. Parvathy and Nithya had shared an image of a positive pregnancy test on Instagram, along with the caption “So. . The wonder begins,” which left followers intrigued. Many celebrities from the film industry including actors Swara Bhaskar, Rima Kallingal, producer Guneeth Monga, singer Chinmayi Sripada, and stylist Eka Lakhani among others had posted comments, while others who were stunned by the announcement, questioned if they are pregnant. 

It was only when other actors including Padmapriya, Archana Padmini, Sayanora Philip and Amrutha Subash shared the same photo of a pregnancy test, that it finally dawned on many that the social media posts were shared to promote an upcoming Malayalam movie directed by Anjali Menon, featuring an ensemble cast of actors. The storyline, as hinted by the film’s team, will track the lives of pregnant women.  The movie titled 'Wonder Women' was shot in Kozhikode in Kerala and deals with the lives of several women who are pregnant.
