Ranjith
has
been
a
highly
lauded
director,
whose
Malayalam
movie
Thirakkatha
was
loosely
rooted
in
the
life
of
the
departed
South
Indian
actress
Sreevidya.
Now,
sources
have
vocalized
that
the
upcoming
Malayalam
movie
Naayika
is
also
anchored
in
the
existence
of
Sreevidya.
The
film
has
been
directed
by
Jayaraj
and
produced
by
Thomas
Benjamin
under
the
flag
of
Makayiram
Creations.
Naayika
has
Madhu
and
Sharada,
who
are
the
actresses
of
yesteryear,
as
its
female
protagonists.
Naayika
has
been
scripted
by
Deedi
Damodaran,
who
had
previously
been
the
scriptwriter
of
Gulmohar,
which
had
also
been
directed
by
Jayaraj.
Naayika
narrates
the
saga
of
a
heroine
of
yesteryear,
who
vanishes
behind
the
curtain
of
time.
Jayaram
as
well
as
Sabitha
Jayaraj
and
Jagathy
will
be
present
in
the
movie
enacting
supporting
characters.
Ranjith
had
subsequently
released
a
clarification
that
Thirakkatha
was
a
film
not
anchored
in
the
life
of
Sreevidya.
Nevertheless,
Thirakkatha
was
a
motion
picture
that
paid
homage
to
the
actresses
of
yesteryear,
who
were
charming
and
well-liked
personas
in
the
film
industry
during
their
youth,
with
copious
patronage.
The
tale
alters
between
the
present
and
flashback
via
the
outlook
of
divergent
characters.
The
story
is
partitioned
into
three
monologues,
which
bump
into
each
other
in
the
climax.
The
film
procured
helpful
and
beneficial
assessments
from
the
critics
and
viewers
alike.
This
movie
attained
the
honor
of
National
Award
for
Best
Malayalam
Feature
Film.
Priyamani,
who
was
the
female
protagonist
in
this
film,
was
conferred
the
Best
Actress
Award
By
Filmfare
Awards
South.
Meanwhile,
Jayaraj
is
an
eminent
Malayalam
moviemaker,
who
has
conquered
several
awards
for
his
films.
He
has
acquired
triumphs
in
the
turf
of
commercial/mainstream
cinema
as
well
as
in
the
territory
of
art
house
movies.
He
has
garnered
fame
for
himself
via
his
praised
films
such
as
Paithrukam,
Vidyarambham,
Shantam,
Kaliyattan,
Loudspeaker
etc.
