Lal in 'ChayamukhyÂ
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,March 12 2008]
After his much celebrated drama appearance in Kavalam Narayana Panikkar's 'Karnabharam', Mohanlal is going to appear on stage again, doing a full length play in 'Chayamukhy'. This two hour play which is to get its premier show staged at Trichur's Lulu convention centre, today evening, will have him playing the character of Bheema.
The play is produced by MukeshÂs 'Kalidasa Visual Magic'. ÂChayamukhi' is a mirror given to Bheema by Hidumbi, a mirror that enables the viewer to see the image of the person he or she loves the most. Taking this story thread from the epic 'Mahabharata's Virataparvam, playwright and director Prashant Narayanan is discussing the themes of notions on love that remains unreturned. The play moves back and forth between the present and the time of the Mahabharata, as the mirror gets exchanged to various characters who realizes what their hearts love most, rather than what their minds asked them to believe.
Mukesh will play the demon king Keechaka in ÂChayamukhyÂ. This 14 segment drama features 24 actors other than Lal and Mukesh. The crew has rehearsed for sixty days to perfect the presentations, which also include 14 short songs set to music by Vidhyadharan and written by the director.
