There are good reviews. There are great reviews. And then there’s getting a personal appreciation hamper hand-delivered by Suriya and Jyotika — two of South Indian cinema’s most respected names. That’s exactly what happened to Riya Shibu, the 21-year-old actress who lit up Sarvam Maya opposite Nivin Pauly, and she had just three words for it: “simply over the moon.”

What Did Suriya and Jyotika Say?

The couple sent Riya a personal hamper alongside a handwritten appreciation note that read: “Congratulations! Loved your performance in Sarvam Maya, Riya. So natural, impactful, and a joy to watch. Big congratulations, and wishing you continued success and many more memorable roles ahead. With love.”

When Riya shared this on social media, she was visibly overwhelmed — and rightfully so. Not only did Suriya and Jyotika take the time to watch the film, they made the extra effort to reach out personally. The film’s music director Justin Prabhakaran also received a separate note from the couple acknowledging his contribution.

For a 21-year-old actress making her mark in the industry, validation from a superstar couple of this stature doesn’t just feel good — it opens doors.

What Is Sarvam Maya About?

The film centres on Prabhendu — an atheist from a family of Hindu priests who abandons tradition to pursue music, only to return broke to his village in Palakkad. He reluctantly assists his cousin with rituals purely for money. Then, life gets complicated in the best possible way: he starts seeing a ghost that only he can see.

The spirit, who calls herself Delulu (played by Riya Shibu), has no memory of her past. What follows is a warm, funny, and surprisingly moving journey as the two unravel the mystery of her origins together — the classic odd-couple supernatural tale done with genuine heart.

According to Wikipedia’s Nivin Pauly page, the actor is one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest contemporary stars, known for feel-good hits like Premam, Iyobinte Pusthakam, and Action Hero Biju — making his pairing with a ghost in a horror comedy a natural, beloved choice for audiences.
