'I didn't get any acknowledgment in Kerala for this film and it has certainly harmed me. At the point when the entire world is commending the arrival of Sanskrit, my state is caught up with disregarding it.'
Vinod Mankara discusses his grant winning film, Priyamanasam.
Chief Vinod Mankara's dubious film Priyamanasam on the life of the antiquated artist Unnayi Warrier won the National Award for Best Sanskrit film of the year.
The film was in the eye of the tempest when the Kerala Chalachitra Acadamy rejected its screening at the IFFK (International Film Festival of Kerala).
Featuring Rajesh Hebbar and Pratheeksha Kashi, Priyamanasam is the principal Sanskrit film made in 22 years.
In this meeting with Rediff.com supporter S Saraswathi, the elated executive lets us know why this film is so near his heart.
Congrats on your second National Award!
Priyamanasam is my blessing from heaven. It is conceived out of the torment and diligent work of the whole group. The film has been minded, adored, spoiled and loved like a tyke and near my heart.
Following 22 years, a Sanskrit film has been made in our country. It has taken six years of examination for its making. So yes, I am to a great degree pleased and charmed to get this grant.
After all the contention encompassing the film, do you feel a feeling of vindication?
Priyamanasam is the third Sanskrit motion picture ever constructed to pack the National Award.
At the point when the jury of the Kerala Chalachitra Acadamy rejected the screening of the motion picture at the IFFK, Priyamanasam was all the while getting so as to make waves screened actually in each film celebration in India, packing grants. Presently, with the National Award, the reason for this film is vindicated.
Why do you think the film was rejected by the IFFK?
Priyamanasam has as of now been screened in destinations, for example, Goa's IFFI, as the opening film of the Indian Panorama area.
In any case, Kerala, the origination of Unnayi Warrier, undauntedly declined to recognize it.
Powers of Kerala State Chalachitra Academy (Motion Picture Academy of the Kerala State) educated me that the motion picture would not be screened in light of the fact that Hindu gods have been appeared in it.
I didn't get any acknowledgment here for this film and it has unquestionably harmed me. At the point when the entire world is commending the arrival of Sanskrit, my state is overlooking it.
