Meet Malayalam cinema's new best director
What has the journey from short films and documentaries to feature films been like?
The documentaries, short films and my writings have all been part of my experiments with the filmmaking process -- in the sense that they were inter-related.
Did you expect Adayalangal to win so many state awards?
Adayalangal is good enough to receive those honours but I would not like to compare my film with others in the competition this year [Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Naalu Pennungal was also in the race].
I have worked with some of them and there were quite a number of good films this time. I am happy about the awards and consider such recognitions as encouragements.
