The Laugh of Lakshmi will be the first collaboration between Frames Per Second Films and Felix Media in Australia, according to Rakasree Basu, CEO of Frames Per Second Films in Mumbai. Filming will be place in Tamil Nadu and Australia.

“I commend the Government of India’s recently announced incentive for foreign film and television production,” he continued. This will undoubtedly stimulate and enrich all foreign productions considering to shoot in India with Indian actors and crew who are experienced and skilled. This project would encourage international filmmakers to explore intercultural workspace, promote shared learning of filmmaking techniques, and promote India as a desirable filming location for international productions.As the Country of Honour in Cannes, India is off to a strong start.” This is the first time a country has been honoured by the Marche du Film or Cannes Film Market.

With this film, Shakthidharan, who is also the writer, will make the transition from stage to cinema.

Counting and Cracking will be released in the United Kingdom soon.

The Laugh of Lakshmi, according to Shakthidharan, is a narrative about a mother and son separated by conflict in Sri Lanka. The mother, a well-known classical Indian dancer, entrusts her young son, who is also a gifted dancer, to her brother in Sydney. The mother and son “find” one other after a twenty-five-year separation and live in completely different neighbourhoods.She had been associated with the grassroots Tamil women farmers’ cooperative movement whereas he had followed a corporate life (with a forbidden romance thrown in).

Prasanna Vithanage, a member of the film’s production team and best known for his trilogy on Sri Lanka’s 35-year war—Death on a Full Moon Day, August Sun, and With You, Without You—told me over the phone from Colombo that the world should know about the suffering and resilience of his country’s people. The Laugh of Lakshmi would use moving imagery to illustrate stories of crippling situations such as forced migration, homelessness, and tragic deaths.
