“In 2007, when I went to see Kanchanamala, she came with me for the first time in 33 years to the tomb where Moideen has been interned and despite the heavy rains at that time,I could see tears running down her cheeks,” added Vimal.
Vimal pointed out that he first did a documentary way back in 2006 on Kanchanamala and it was that spark which forced him to quit his journalistic job and embarked on the journey to make this into a commercial film. “Similar stories would have been told a thousand times before, but what stands out in this film is the dramatisation that has gone in the making and that’s the USP of this film,” said Prithviraj. He said that he spoke to at least 50 people who knew Moideen and one thing he could garner was Moideen was a hero. “Since not even 10 per cent of the true love story has been said in the film, there is enough material for a few more films on the same topic, especially, on the post death events of Moideen,” added Prithviraj. Then Vimal came back a year later and handed me the script which was five books and an year later we started the project,” said Prithviraj. “After watching the documentary that he made on the same subject, I spoke to Kanchanamala and she said she has no problem, if I play the role of Moideen.
Recalling his association with the film, Prithviraj said that this has been the dream project of Vimal. In the film, Prithviraj plays the role of Moideen, while Parvathy is seen as Kanchanamala. It tells the story of a Muslim youth Moideen and a Hindu woman Kanchanamala who fall in love.
