The story of celebrated writer Kamala Surayya, who shocked pseudo moralists and custodians of conventional values through her bold writings in English and Malayalam, will come alive on the silver screen, possibly with Vidya Balan in the title role.
Kamal is planning to bring out the movie on Surayya, who wrote in English as Kamala Das and enriched Malayalam literature with her highly acclaimed short stories and memoirs under the pseudonym Madhavikutti.
Kamala, whose memoirs “Ente Katha” (My story) shocked conservative Malayalis in the 1970s, later changed her name to Kamala Surayya after embracing Islam a few years before her death in 2009.
According to Kamal, the movie is conceived not as a “realistic biopic” but as an “independent journey through the personal and literary life of Surayya, who was torn away the hypocrisies of pseudo moralists but boldly stood for the wounded womanhood through her works.”
The director said the thread of this movie had been in his mind for quite some time and he would work out the plot after completing his ongoing project, a political satire in which superstar Mammootty appears as the protagonist. Read More On MSN
