The Dream Project
If the reports that have been doing the rounds are to be believed, this Mohanlal movie was one of the dream projects of the veteran director and it was titled Harshan Dulari.
The Big Team
Fazil had planned this project on a large scale and he had fixed Mohanlal and Sridevi to play the title roles in the movie that narrated the romantic tale of a Ghazal singer named Harshan and Dulari. AR Rahman was approached to score music.
Why It Was Dropped
If reports are to be believed, Fazil also revealed why the project failed to take off. Reportedly, the director felt that he wouldn't be able to convey the idea of the film properly to the audiences.
The Script
Reportedly,
writer
Madhu
Muttom,
who
had
penned
the
script
of
Manichithrathazhu
was
the
scribe
of
Harshan
Dulari
as
well.
The
director
reportedly
mentioned
that
if
the
project
had
happened,
it
would
have
been
a
film
that
stood
higher
than
Manichithrathazhu.
The Theme
The director also added that the theme of Manichithrathazhu was something which was relatable for the audiences but the same wasn't the case with Harshan Dulari. The climax of the film had one among the lead characters attaining self-realization and only a person who has attained it would relate to that. Hence, he thought that he wouldn't be able to portray that world in a convincing way for the audiences.
