Classical notes
It is going to be a film with a difference, riding on the theme of
rain and its various moods which reflect the human condition.
At 32, ace Malayalam director Jayaraj is already a veteran with 11
films including national award-winninng Deshadanam under his belt.
The new offering is the love story of a ghazal singer (played by
Mohan Lal) and his unrequited love for a poetess who blooms too
early. The film is to be shot in Mumbai and Kerala and is very much
in tune with a genre of cinema that dares to be different.
Music will form the soul of the film and eight maestros will
compose it. There is ghazal virtuoso Hariharan, Vanraj Bhatia,
Pandit Raghunath Seth, Telugu superstar Keeravani, Raveendran,
Bhupen Hazarika, Ilayaraja and A.R. Rehman.
Ilayaraja has agreed in
principle to compose the music for the poems that will lace the
film. Negotiations are on with Rehman to tie up the logistics.
The film will feature Malayalam superstar Mohan Lal, Suresh Gopi and TV star Mayuri.
