Indian filmmaker Sanju Surendran’s “Fishers of Men” centers on Sreekumar, a vegetarian bank officer in Kerala whose contented, orthodox life unravels after a bizarre incident at a party forces him to consume alcohol and fish, triggering an uncontrollable obsession that transforms his identity, career and personal life.

The Malayalam-language production, produced by Pramod Sankar, Rajeev Ravi and Kiran Kesav through Cloud Door Films, marks Surendran’s follow-up to “If on a Winter’s Night,” which won the Hylife Vision Award at Busan Intl. Film Festival in 2025. The drama-fantasy is one of 17 in-development projects selected for the 24th Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum.
