# Could Malayalam Cinema Recast Curry Baker’s Obsession? 2026-08-07T05:51:32+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Times of India explores how Curry Baker’s horror drama Obsession could be adapted for Malayalam cinema. The proposed version would move the story to Kochi and nearby areas while replacing its supernatural object, One Wish Willow, with a Kerala-rooted charm or ritual object. The film’s central idea would remain intact, but its horror could draw on local folklore and familiar settings such as a music shop, family home or rain-soaked street. The report suggests Naslen for Michael Johnston’s role as Bear, an awkward music store employee whose obsession turns darker. It also names Rahul Sadasivan as a possible director and Kalyani Priyadarshan as Nikki, the role played by Inde Navarette in the original. These are creative suggestions, not confirmed casting or production plans. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: horror films, Malayalam cinema, Naslen, Obsession, Rahul Sadasivan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/could-malayalam-cinema-recast-curry-bakers-obsession/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
