Malayalam novel inspires Bala!

Well, director Bala plans to do it again! No, we are not talking about casting Vishal and Arya together, but about directing an award-worthy film. If the K-town buzz is true, then the National Award-winning director is all set to work on a ���family��� theme this time around.The director, who is all set to make a new flick, was, apparently, scouting for new faces to star in it. He has now roped in late actor Murali���s son, Atharvaa, and is looking for a new face to play the lead actress opposite him. According to an industry source, it seems this is based on a Malayalam novel.���The novel has been translated into Tamil by an author called Daniel and is titled Eriyum Thanal,��� adds the source. The novel is supposedly based on a couple who have a child and the trials and tribulations they face.The source adds that Bala is allegedly keenon making a movie that will be a hit at international film festivals, whichseems to be the new flavour of Kollywood. As for why he didn���t rope in hisearlier heroes for this flick, the whispers suggest that the subject may be tooheavy for the commercially-oriented heroes.
