Director-writer
Sachy's
untimely
demise
has
indeed
shaken
the
Malayalam
film
industry.
The
director
who
was
at
the
peak
of
his
career
with
his
last
venture
Ayyappanum
Koshiyum's
success
breathed
his
last
in
Thrissur's
Jubilee
Mission
hospital
at
the
age
of
48.
Well,
a
recent
Facebook
post
shared
by
his
close
friend
and
a
production
controller
Badusha
has
broken
several
hearts,
as
it
revealed
that
the
director
had
few
ambitious
projects
in
mind,
one
among
them
was
with
Superstar
Mammootty.
Giving
more
details
about
the
project,
Badusha
said
that
the
movie
was
supposed
to
be
a
multi-starrer
with
the
actor
in
the
lead
role.
It
is
said
the
director
had
also
fixed
Prithviraj,
Biju
Menon,
Tovino
Thomas
and
Asif
Ali
for
the
project,
titled
Brigand.
The
production
controller
also
revealed
that
the
duo
was
planning
to
meet
the
actor
for
the
narration.
For
the
unversed,
Sachy
has
earlier
collaborated
with
Mammooty
in
the
2011
movie
Doubles,
as
the
former
had
co-written
the
script
for
the
film
along
with
Sethu.
There
are
also
reports
suggesting
that
the
director
was
gearing
up
to
helm
a
project
with
Prithviraj
in
the
lead
role.
He
is
also
said
to
have
written
scripts
for
two
more
films
starring
Biju
Menon
and
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
roles
respectively.
The
filmmaker
was
admitted
to
the
hospital
on
June
16,
after
suffering
cardiac
arrest.
Sachy
had
a
hip-replacement
surgery
on
June
15.
Before
making
it
into
the
movies,
Sachy
practiced
as
a
lawyer
in
the
High
Court
of
Kerala
for
8
years.
He
teamed
up
with
Sethunath,
popularly
known
as
Sethu
and
wrote
scripts
for
several
hit
films
including
Chocolate,
Robin
Hood,
Makeup
Man,
Seniors,
etc.
The
duo
split
with
the
film
Doubles,
which
failed
to
impress
the
audience
at
the
theatres.
Sachy
debuted
as
a
director
with
Anarkali
starring
Prithviraj
and
Biju
Menon
in
the
lead
roles,
which
became
the
blockbuster
of
2015.
