Lal Jose, one of the most popular mainstream film directors, will soon direct a film based on a script by M.T. Vasudevan Nair, a renowned Malayalam author, screenplay writer and director, who has written some of the finest scripts in Malayalam for movies including
Nakhakshthangal (1986),
Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha (1989),
Sargam (1992),
Sadayam (1992),
Parinayam (1994) and
Ennu Swantham Janakikutty (1998).
It is heard that producer G. Suresh Kumar of Revathi Kalamandir, a production company based in Kinfra Film and Video Park, Thiruvananthapuram, wanted M.T. Vasudevan Nair to write a script for him and it was M.T. who suggested Lal Jose to direct this film. M.T. is said to be impressed by Lal Jose's recent super hits
Chaandu Pottu, Classmates and
Arabikatha, which all reveal the special and unique approach of the director as a fluent story teller. Lal Jose is very much happy to accept this offer.
The name of the film is yet to be finalized. Accoding to initial reports, this movie, with many new faces, will be a village-based story like
Nakhakshathangal (1986). The film will have two heroes. Planned to be a low budget film, it will be shot at the locations of Kuttipuram and Ottappalam. The shoot will start in May 2009 after Lal Jose completes his first Tamil film Mazhai Varai Pokirathu, scripted by James Albert.
