Narrating how a story develops and finally evolves into a final script by the renowned script writer Lohithadas. Wrote with such charm and integrity that it gives a feeling of being wrote staright from the heart. Read it too hear from the 'horse's mouth' itself
A. K. Lohithadas was an Indian screenwriter, playwright, director, and producer known for his extensive work in Malayalam cinema. Lohithadas was known for his rich, detailed, and realistic screenplays. In a career spanning over two decades, his films have won a National Film Award, 6 Kerala State Film Awards, and 14 Kerala Film Critics Award for Best Script.
Lohithadas was introduced to K. G. George by actor Thilakan. It did not help Lohithadas to start a career in Malayalam cinema. But it was K. G. George who gave the basic core idea of the story, later which was developed by Lohithadas to make the film Kireedam. Later, Thilakan introduced Lohithadas to director Sibi Malayil when Sibi was searching for a good writer for his films. Thus Lohi's first movie screenplay Thaniavarthanam was directed by Malayil and became a success. Together, Sibi Malayil and Lohithadas later produced several memorable Malayalam movies.
Read in 2009, to be fair after the death of the author. He was one of my favourite film makers. Happened to find about the book and fethced a copy from the state central library, Tvm and ended up reading it.
