A Guide to Manorathangal
Mahesh Narayanan on Fahadh Faasil’s Sherlock
In 2022, OTTplay had an exclusive conversation with Mahesh Narayanan, Fahadh Faasil’s longtime collaborator and the director of his short Sherlock in Manorathangal. The filmmaker spoke about the short film and called it a tribute to M.T. Vasudevan Nair. “It’s a tribute to the writer from filmmakers as well as cinema lovers, who grew up watching M.T. Vasudevan Nair sir’s films. His scripts are all available right now as they are published works. As filmmakers, we have this tendency to go back and read them as references,” said the filmmaker.
Mahesh Narayanan added, “They are all segments for which M.T. sir has written the screenplay. I am doing a short film called Sherlock and we had a good sitting, and I am really glad I could do something with a legendary writer like him. It will drop on the OTT platform really soon.”
And it finally is! Manorathangal drops on Zee5 on August 15, 2024. Stay tuned to OTTplay for more information on this and everything else from the world of streaming and films.
