Thiruvananthapuram:Noted Bengali film-maker Buddhadeb Dasgupta is getting to direct a film in Malayalam bases on a social theme. Buddhadeb himself will do the script of the film, based on the story line by politician-cum-producer Aryadan Shaukat,
whose earlier films focussing on problems under development, terrorism and religious orthodoxies have been well received. 'It will be a complete Malayalam film with a social message. The story, set in the background of a Kerala village, will explore some of the maladies that afflict the Kerala society,' Shaukat told PTI. He, however, said Buddhadeb wanted the story of the film to be kept a secret till the shooting begins in February next.
'We have decided to start the shooting after the director completing the Bengali movie now he is working on,' Shaukat,
son of senior Congress leader Aryadan Muhammad and now chairman of Nilambur Municipality in Malappuram district, said.
Bringing Buddhadev, who has won national awards for directing films like Uttara, into Malayalam was a long-cherished dream,
Shaukat said said. 'A fan of Malayalam movies and Kerala culture and literature, Budhadeb has always shown keen interest in making a film in Malayalam film. I borached the idea when I met him at the Goa International film festival last year. I narrated the
storyline and he okayed it then itself', he said. 'We are in constant touch with each other. The star cast and other details of the film will bn finalised in the next two months', he said.
The films produced by Shaukat earlier included 'Padam Onnu Oru Vilapam', the problems of women among the Muslim community in the Malabar region. Another of his award winning movie was 'Daiva Namathil', which explores the theme of educated youths turning terrorists. Shaukat has als been a prime mover of a campaign to make his village totally free from the practice of giving or accepting dowry, which has attracted national attention.PTI
