Shibu Gangadharan is set to make his debut as an independent director in the Mollywood film industry this year. He has chosen to adapt the literary classic “Praise the Lord” by Zacharia into a film for his first outing. This is a unique choice as many debutant filmmakers in Mollywood tend to avoid adapting literary classics due to the added challenge and effort required to do justice to the work.
However, Gangadharan finds the challenge irresistible and sees the potential in Zacharia’s novella for a cinematic adaptation. The film will star Mammootty in the lead role and Gangadharan previously worked as an assistant director to Rajeev Nath in ‘Janani’ (1999), which was also based on a Zacharia’s story.
