Jayaraj is the only director in Mollywood who is always ready to dare anything. He has tried his hand at almost all genres of cinema - thorough commercial ones, art house movies, and middle stream cinema. He had earned accolades and awards even at the national level for creating meaningful movies and the next we see is him again doing a musical or an action thriller. 'Gulmohar’ is his latest offering where he is trying to use the acting capabilities of ace scriptwriter -director Renjith, by offering him the lead character.
‘Gulmohar’ is set in the 1970’s, a period that witnessed naxalite groups capturing the imagination of the youth. The central character of the film, Induchoodan, a college lecturer, leads a group of six insurgents on a mission to eliminate those who exploit ‘adivasis’. They target a rich and affluent person, but end up killing the wrong person. Ranjith, a popular director and a much sought-after scenarist, does the role of Induchoodan, while debutante Neenu Prasad is the lead lady. Ace-footballer I.M.Vijayan, whom Jayaraj had earlier introduced as an actor in ‘Shantham’, makes a comeback with ‘Gulmohar’.
The other highlight of the film is the scripts by Didi Damodaran, daughter of famous Malayalam scriptwriter T. Damodaran, who is attempting her first independent script with the film. Taking a political plot about resistance, Didi, an English professor by profession is looking up to present some rarely told story lines that she had written 20 months back and has been polishing since then for this film. Didi had been a fair copy assistant to her father, who scripted more than 70 films, including some big hits that created super-stars like Jayan, Mammootty and Mohanlal.
