Sachy’s
Lost
And
Found
Anarkali!
KR
Sachidanandan,
professionally
credited
as
Sachy
has
a
bizarre
story
revolving
around
his
2015
film
Anarkali.
The
movie
featuring
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
Biju
Menon
and
Priyal
Gor
in
the
lead
roles
turned
out
to
be
a
blockbuster
at
the
theatres.
But
did
you
know
the
filmmaker
lost
the
script
of
the
movie
much
before
the
shoot
took
place?
Yes
you
read
that
right!
The
script
of
the
romantic
thriller
was
lost
from
his
bag
kept
inside
his
car.
The
car
was
apparently
parked
on
the
road
in
Kochi,
wherein
the
document
was
lost
without
even
a
copy
in
hand.
Everything
Lost,
Except
For
The
Script!
The
director
was
evidently
disheartened
with
the
loss
of
the
script
that
took
his
hardwork
and
dedication
to
write
amid
several
other
projects
in
hand.
A
few
days
later,
Sachy
received
a
call
from
a
police
station
in
Thiruvananthapuram,
informing
that
his
bag
has
been
recovered
from
a
bus
with
only
a
medical
receipt
(which
had
his
mobile
number)
and
the
film
script.
Though
the
director
lost
his
other
valuables
from
the
bag
during
the
lost
and
found
episode,
he
was
happy
that
he
finally
received
the
script
that
literally
changed
his
film
career
forever.
Sachy’s
Anarkali
–
His
Lifeline!
Anarkali
mostly
shot
in
Lakshadweep
was
released
on
November
13,
2015.
The
story
revolved
around
Shanthanu
Varma
(Prithviraj),
a
navy
officer,
who
falls
in
love
with
Nadira
who
is
under
age
(15
years)
as
well
as
the
daughter
of
his
commanding
officer.
His
search
for
his
love
after
years
of
separation
is
what
Anarkali
is
all
about.
The
movie
with
the
romantic
tale
of
the
duo,
with
the
beautiful
natural
scenery,
won
the
hearts
of
the
audience
in
no
time
and
turned
Sachy
into
a
bankable
director
with
the
outing.
Anarkali
Hero
Mourns
The
Death
Of
Sachy!
Sachy's
bond
with
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
has
been
a
special
one.
The
duo
started
off
their
collaboration
with
Chocolate
released
in
2007,
the
year,
wherein
the
actor
was
still
trying
to
make
a
place
in
the
hearts
of
the
Malayalam
audience.
The
movie
which
had
Roma
Asrani
as
the
female
lead
turned
out
to
be
a
hit,
and
made
Prithviraj,
a
reliable
actor.
The
actor
who
has
teamed
up
with
Sachy
for
almost
5
films
including
Chocolate-
Robin
Hood,
Anarkali,
Driving
License
and
Ayyappanum
Koshiyum
is
surely
devasted
with
the
director's
demise.
Sharing
a
picture
of
Sachy,
he
penned
a
short
and
heart-wrenching
caption,
"Gone".
Sachy’s
Death
The
filmmaker
was
admitted
to
Thrissur's
Jubilee
Mission
Hospital
on
June
16
after
suffering
from
a
cardiac
arrest.
The
renowned
director
had
a
hip
replacement
surgery
on
June
15.
Before
making
a
much-needed
entry
into
films,
Sachy
practiced
as
a
lawyer
for
8
years
in
the
High
Court
Of
Kerala.
