Your latest film ‘Minnaminnikootam’ has evoked a mixed response. What is your take on this?
I was expecting this. The film has a storyline, a theme that everyone may not relate to. From the initial response I have gathered the film is surely picking up, especially among women.
You have purported to talk about the lives of techies in the film. Have you really delved deep into their lives or is just a filmy angle to what happens in the lives of IT professionals?
Frankly, I have not gone deep into the lives of the techies. It is not just about them. The focus is more on youngsters, their lives, their loves. In between all this I have attempted to place the family, its importance.
Do you think that it is high time Malayalam cinema began thinking young? More stories, more films on and by the youth?
Definitely. Cinema in other Indian languages have become youth oriented. It is time Malayalam takes the cue. But then you need young actors, technicians and an audience that can think young.
After ‘Ayal Kathaezhuthukayanu’ you have not worked with Mohanlal. Something wrong?
No, not at all. There is no problem between me and Mohanlal. Perhaps it is just that no project really cropped up. In fact, I’m working on a film with him, which hopefully will come out next year.
Songs have always had an important place in your films. And very often they have helped in their success. But the songs of ‘Minnaminnikootam’ somehow they don’t seem to have clicked. What happened?
We had a problem and so could not beam it on television earlier. This must have been one reason. They are on television now. The songs have come out well.
