Passenger

This is the movie I have lived, dreamt and slept with for the past 4 years.And finally I am going to make it this year.

We are starting shooting September end and probably you will see this in your theaters on Christmas.

I think I am going to make a significant movie. I know I am completely ready to do it.

Meanwhile Aamir was shot in Arri 235 and ultra primes.And they used 40% steadycam on a 3.5 kg camera.Thats too much.Malayalam cinema certainly cant afford that.

I want to go with Arri3 and HAWK for passenger.Someone told me HAWK is not compatible with Arri3.Pritvi told me thats nonsense and he has worked on couple on movies with it.Maybe we will be needing 24 block lenses for a couple of days shoot.

Well thats all you need for a malayalam cinema I feel.Its the content that matters.

I realise the easiest thing that can happen to a film maker during the making of a movie is to lose his conviction in between.

I pray this does not happen with me.There are going to be difficult days,desperate decisions,finaicial limitations.And between all this chaos i have to make a movie.

I am mentally preparing myself for it.I realise there maybe times i am just going through the motions but this this should not reflect on screen.

All I can say about passenger now is that its a thriller with a social committement.

Wish me luck guys.

Wow. When I wrote that comment on Nizhalukal, I had no idea you were behind Passenger as well. Keep up the good work. Malayalam cinema definitely needs great writers like you.
