Hi sir,, Happy to see u here, my first question is.....

U made films with all superstars like mohanlal,mammootty,suresh gopi, even now with prithvi, do u think that the superstardom is a barrier to make a realistic movie???

Hi sir,

My next question is to the writer in u,

what is your opinion about the suction of stardom now a days by the writers?
(ezhuthukaar ethramaathram thaarangalude super-thaara padhavi chooshanam cheyyunnu)

whether the writers make use of the stardom at a level only for the commercial sake?

Sir,

My third question,

Now a days,Tamil industries going for more realistic films in low budget and these all becoming commercial success too, why cant malayalam industry too cant consider such treatment?

Even other Indian film industries too appraising malayalam films as having good themes....Is that suits now???

How is the marketing of the film? Are you all making use of the new medias? simillar to how the Puthiya mukham team did?

Can I expect a power packed movie?

When is the releasing date? Hope Thriller won't clash with Anwar.

Well, the answer is both yes and no; the very concept of the superstar itself is very unrealistic and "larger than life." So when you make a film relying on the super star value( an imaginary value), the film becomes unrealistic. But our superstars are great actors too. if you make use of them that way, you end up making a "realistic' ( again, a dubious category) film.

Hi Mr.Unnikrishnan, welcome to Forum Keralam.
Of your scripts,my favourite movie is "The Tiger". Where did you get the spark of that script from? was it inspired from any real life incidents?

No....fiction, pure fiction

hello sir....

my questions:

why did you select Prithviraj for Thriller?

I heard that Thriller releasing on oct 29th? If it is true it will clash with Amal Neerad’s Anwar which also have Prithviraj as hero. Do you think it is a good idea?

what do you call yourself? writer or director?

I wanted to do a cop movie with him, with a lot of action and music.
Thriller's releasing date will be fixed only after taking into consideration all related factors.
