Poppins (2012) is a Malayalam film directed by V. K. Prakash. It stars ten lead actors, appearing as five couples; the characters are played by Jayasurya and Meghana Raj, Kunchacko Boban and Nithya Menen, Indrajith and Padmapriya, Shankar Ramakrishnan and Mythili, and Siddique and Ann Augustine. The film was shot with two cameras at the same time handled by Jomon T. John and Arun.
The film is an adaptation of the Sahitya Akademi award-winning play 18 Natakangal by Jayaprakash Kuloor. Prakash had already adapted this play into a Kannada film titled Aidondla Aidu. The story is centred on man-woman relationships, which is weaved into a single story encapsulating the struggles of a filmmaker, exploring different facets of the institution called marriage. Nithya Menen and Padmapriya reprised their role from the Kannada film.
All the tales revolve around the relationships between a husband and wife and although each explores different facets of the marital relationship, at their core they involve communication and the consequences of misconception.
It is a new thought, that the director wanted his critically acclaimed film Aidondla Aidu to be made into Malayalam. After completing Trivandrum Lodge, the director wanted to try a different Aidondla Aidu. The director was selective with choosing hardworking young and character suiting actors, Kunchacko Boban and Nithya Menen were chosen to play a pivotal couple, and Jayasurya and Meghana Raj were chosen to play a supporting couple, this is the second time the pair have come together first being the director's Beautiful. Jayasurya was cast again after V. K. Prakash's Trivandrum Lodge, in which he played the lead role. Padmapriya and Nithya Menen were chosen to reprise their roles from the Kannada film Aidu Ondla Aidu. The shooting of the film began on 10 June 2012, in Bangalore. Jomon T. John is the cinematographer. The film was shot in Bangalore and Trivandrum in two schedules.
