Priyadarshan,
the
veteran
film-maker
is
back
on
the
success
track
after
a
prolonged
low
phase,
with
his
latest
venture
Oppam.
In
a
recent
interview,
Priyan
revealed
the
real
importance
of
Oppam,
in
his
life.
The
director,
who
made
some
shocking
revelations
through
the
interview,
stated
that
the
grand
success
of
the
movie
is
his
reply
to
ex-wife
Lissy,
who
openly
stated
that
Priyadarshan's
career
is
finished.
According
to
Priyadarshan,
Lissy
insulted
him
in
front
of
the
court
during
their
divorce
proceedings,
stating
that
his
time
is
finished,
in
both
personal
and
professional
lives.
Her
statements
had
deeply
hurt
the
director.
But,
he
was
not
in
a
position
to
retaliate
and
decided
to
move
forward
with
his
own
life.
It
was
Mohanlal,
Priyadarshan's
best
buddy,
who
boosted
his
confidence
and
insisted
him
to
work
on
Oppam.
Initially,
Priyadarshan
refused
to
accept
the
offer,
as
he
was
not
in
form.
But,
Mohanlal
was
adamant
that
he
will
only
act
in
the
project
if
Priyan
is
directing
it,
and
made
him
to
work
on
the
screenplay.
The
director
succeeded
in
completing
the
screenplay
of
the
movie
within
two
months,
with
the
help
of
his
associate
directors.
Now,
Oppam
is
performing
well
at
the
box
office,
and
has
already
emerged
as
the
highest
grosser
of
2016.
