Jayamohan moves from Naan Kadavul to Ashokavanam


Naan Kadavul’s screenplay and dialogues are penned by the noted Tamil author Jayamohan. After being inspired by his hard-hitting screenplay, Bala decided that Jayamohan will write the dialogues of Naan Kadavul too. Jayamohan, however, begs to differ at the mere mention of the word dialogue. “We evolved upon conversations for the
movie that fits into the respective scene and not framed dialogues,” he stated in an interview to a tabloid.
Revealing a few tidbits about the movie, he mentioned that Arya and Pooja have perfected their roles for the movie. “I remember Bala insisting Arya and Pooja to remain in the costumes even after the shoots. This is to inculcate the character’s soul into the actors and I found it to be very effective,” he opined. He also recollected incidents when Arya, in public, was mistaken by other sanyasis as an Agori and was greeted with their salutation Ram Ram Maharaj. “Bham Bham Mahadev”, Arya would greet them back. “When I wrote the screenplay, I referred Arya’s character Rudhran to walk like an elephant when he was arrested by cops. And true to those words, I could feel Arya standing by the same,” he noted.
Jayamohan has now moved on to his mammoth book Ashokavanam, of 5000 pages. The book is close to being finished and will be published soon.
