Ennennum is a story that is set in a fictional world. The leads of the film, Auzo and Devi, are a young couple who are debating whether or not they should accept the offer of the parties to become immortal or choose a natural life that leads to death. A company has been selling them an immortality policy. While Auzo is fine with this policy, Devi is sceptical of infinity and eternity. At the same time, Auzo’s elder brother falls ill and has to choose death unwillingly. This creates a lot of confusion in their lives, and then they find a loophole in the immortality policy.
In the film, Anoop Mohandas plays the character of Auzo, while Santhy Balachandran plays the role of Devi. Apart from them, the film also has Ajithlal Sivalal, Anumol, Sudeep Joshi, Sithara Vijayan, Gibin Gopinath, and Bilas in important roles.

In 2022, she won the National Award for the Best Screenplay for her work on Soorarai Pottru, which was directed by Sudha Kongara. Currently, she is working on a crime drama that will be released on Netflix.
