Rojin Thomas or anyone in the South Film Industry has always been a universal fan of legendary actor, Indrans. The ace director however made his dream come true by working with the actor in his next film, Home. The movie is a slice of life film that shows the struggle of old people against the digitisation around us.
When asked about how he got such a strange idea for the film, he said, “I came up with this idea 7 years ago when my father came to my home and asked me to recharge his phone. He is like a man played by Indrans in the film. So when I was teaching him to recharge, he was noting down every step in his diary. He filled half page of the diary and after that, I asked him to try by himself. He did it and I saw much happiness on his face and I had never seen such kind of reaction by him in my entire life. There are so many people like my father who are struggling to stay connected to their children, siblings because they are struggling with this digital revolution. I didn’t have a storyline that time but had shared this idea with Vijay Babu and he liked it. That’s how #Home began.”
In the interview he was in awe of the acting skills of Indrans. He said, ” I think this is one of the best characters he has ever played because all through these 40 days of shoot, he didn’t act but he played the role effortlessly. Shooting time with him on the sets was always a homely moment. When I used to see him through monitor, I always felt like I’m watching my father, my mother and I’m sitting at my home. That much realistic it was,”
