I have already answered your question. I will be making my kind of cinema with my own money, knowing fully well that the money will be lost. I have done that. At a time when i was not financially comfortable, i invested the first advance i got from a producer in the film, JALAMARMARAM--my first screenpalay, which won me an award. Have u seen the film? no. Because there was no distributer to buy it. We travelled with the film carrying a video projector and showed it the people across the state. Annum Mazhayyayiruunnu, my tele-film which won many awards was also produced by me.
And about repaying...I am not that romantic politically. When the great poet W B Yeats died---he had fought for Ireland's freedom---, another poet W H Auden wrote: Ireland has her weather and madness still, for poetry makes nothing happen.
I am not a cynic; but, still. i believe we live in a time when art makes nothing happen.

It all depends on how you elicit great music from the music director. I can assure you that thriller's songs will rock. Dharan is simply amazing....

Hype or no hype, I am ruthlessly judged by the people. After the first show the film survives only if the people find it interesting.

Dr. Unnikrishnan,

Why are our writers and directors not thinking out of the box? Why can't we follow the recent Tamil trend of getting a story, then delevoping it in to a meaningful script and then visualize the film. Here it does not seem that we invest lot of time in the planning of the product.

sir...do u think...you will once be capable of creating those extraordinary classic movies which were created in the 80's by our esteemed directors...something we miss these days..i mean do u really from ur heart believe that u can change the conventional malayalam cinema??

It's a random selection:

Yavanika, Elippathayam, Oridaththoru phayalvaan, Chintavishtayaaya..., New Delhi, Manichitrathaazhu....the list is of course incomplete....

Sir,
If Vinayan asks a script from you, will you give?
