Lakshmi Warrier, only woman production manager in Mollywood

A random conversation with director Lijo Jose Pellissery changed Lakshmi Warrier’s life and career. She was  working in travel and tourism in Bengaluru. She asked Lijo, a family friend, about movies having ‘travel partners’. so she could prepare celebrity-special packages, she thought. But Lijo told her it wasn’t a good idea. Why couldn’t she try production instead, it was more suited to the vibrant person that Lakshmi was, he told. In the years that followed, Lakshmi would create history by becoming the only woman  as a production manager in the Mollywood film industry.
