Ravi K. Chandran, filmmaker, opens about challenges that he had to face for the movie “Brahmam”, which is a Malayalam remake of the Hindi movie “Andhadun”. He stated that it is a challenge to correct the nuances and impress the viewers. He believes that it is a difficult task to impress the fans of the original movie.
“The real challenge was to impress the Malayalam media and the movie watchers, particularly the hardcore fans of the original. Since it was a remake and that too of a very well crafted film the comparisons were always going to be there,” Chandran stated.
Chandran stated that he would be the happiest if the people who have already watched the original movie, appreciated the adaptation and the subtle changes. He calls it the “icing on the cake”.
“The people who haven’t watched the original movie are full of praises that make one feel happy. But what makes me happiest is that those who have watched the original and now have watched our film like the subtle changes and appreciate the adaptation. That is the icing on the cake,” Chandran says.
As mentioned, “Brahmam” is the Malayalam remake of the original Hindi movie “Andhadun”, essayed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. The movie dwells on the bipolarity of a pretentiously blind pianist.
“Real challenge included getting the nuances correct and to present the content in such a way that the Malayalam audiences with their sensibilities would receive it in the way it was supposed to and it’s evident with the praises we are getting that we were successful in doing our job and that is gratifying,” added Chandran. He further says, “A lot of the credit goes to Sarat, the dialogues and the writing by him are so smart and the funny bits that are there in the movie have been crafted perfectly.”
The movie “Brahmam” is to be released on October 7 on Amazon Prime Video starring Unni Mukundan, Sudheer Karamana, Mamtha Mohandas, and Raashi.
