A break from epic, for a cause
Director Hariharan and scriptwriter M T Vasudevan Nair have figured out their success formula in the world of period cinema. In fact, their next, Randamoozham, touted to be their magnum opus, has been in the news for a while now.
However, right in the midst of all that work, the duo has decided to take a break to work on a film that highlights a social cause.

The director, who is busy finalising the cast of this next film, describes it as one with, “social significance.” Hariharan says, “We are in talks with sound engineer Resul Pookutty and cameraman S G Raman for the same.” If the deal comes through, this could be Resul's second Malayalam film after being a part of Hariharan’s mega-budget flick, Pazhassiraja. Meanwhile, Indrajith tweeted that he will be a part of the project. Hariharan's love for epic tales is hardly new. "Many courageous warriors have sacrificed their lives for the country. The new generation needs to be reminded of the history of our nation and the cultural significance their lives have brought out," he says.
About taking a break from his current project, Hariharan clarifies, “Randamoozham is a huge project, which requires enormous background research and legwork. We can’t begin on the film unless every detail is in place," he says, hinting that the scribe is yet to complete scripting the film based on his novel.
