Aashiq
Abu,
the
director
who
is
busy
filming
for
his
upcoming
movie
Rani
Padmini,
says
that
Manju
Warrier
is
the
real
reason
for
doing
the
film.
The
movie
revolves
around
the
struggles
of
two
women.
The
director
states
that
it
was
almost
impossible
to
think
about
such
scripts
earlier,
as
an
actress
who
can
pull
out
such
a
character
was
not
available.
In
such
a
scenario,
Manju
Warrier's
successful
comeback
is
a
positive
sign.
He
recalls
that
Swetha
Menon
was
the
only
option
during
the
casting
of
Salt
N
Pepper.
Aashiq
Abu
feels
that
it
is
not
a
right
thing
for
an
actress,
to
leave
her
career
after
marriage.
Rima
Kallingal,
the
actress
is
married
to
Aashiq
Abu,
play
one
of
the
two
lead
roles
in
Rani
Padmini.
Aashiq
is
an
extremely
supporting
husband
and
has
no
issues
with
his
wife
continuing
her
career.
Aashiq
also
stated
that
it
was
his
long
time
wish,
to
direct
a
women-centric
film,
like
the
yesteryear
films
Panjagni
and
Kaakkothikkavile
Appoppanthadikal.
He
feels
that
the
soap
operas
portray
the
relationships
between
women
in
a
disgusting
manner.
He
states
that
he
doesn't
believe
in
following
the
current
trends
and
wants
to
create
a
path
of
his
own.
Aashiq
assures
that
Rani
Padmini
will
be
a
different
portrayal
of
a
strong
relationship
between
two
women.
