Malayalam cinema will revive: Sasikumar


Kollywood's hottest filmmaker Sasikumar of path-breaking Subramaniapuram fame was in Kochi recently to attend Traya's 'Mayfest' – the Bharat Gopi retrospective film festival at Town Hall.

While interacting with the media after a face-to-face session at the festival, he said: "When I started watching movies, only Malayalam and Bengali films depicted real life. They have not gone anywhere. It is still here. The industry will make a full circle and good films will return."

"It is not the filmmaker, but the audience who set trends. Let them accept good movies and soon it will become a trend,” he said. As for crises, every industry is having its own share. “The crisis in Tamil films is too many new films. Of 150-odd films released last year, only 6 or 7 succeeded at the box office," he added.

Earlier, winding up the interactive session, filmmaker Lal Jose and chairman of Traya wished that aspiring filmmakers had got positive vibes from the experience of Sasikumar, who told the audience that he spent three to four months over the script and nearly one year hunting for the right location before starting the work of Subramaniapuram.
