As he awaits release of Poomaram, Kalidas was quoted by Manorama Online saying, “When I came into movies, my father was already busy with a handful of films and my mother had quit acting. When I was doing Poomaram my mother told, ‘you have a roof above your head and food on your table. You have everything to live comfortably. So when you choose a movie, money should not be a priority. You should not see cinema as a business.”
The star cast also includes veterans such as Kunchacko Boban, Meera Jasmine and Manju Warrier playing pivotal roles. The film which was shot in different colleges in Kerala has covered the MG University Youth Festival in 2017 as the background for the movie.
