Politician turned director M A Nishad had been instrumental in creating serious movies that always stood for a social cause. His previous movies like `Pakal', `Nagaram' and `Aayudham' narrated some unhealthy practices that our hypocritical society has been politicising and practicing for some time. His latest `Vairam' which is planned for this Ramzan is one such movie influenced by some real incidents.

Scripted by Cheriyaan Kalpakavaady, `Vairam' is all about a father's plight for justice. The movie will feature Tamil actor Pasupathy as Sivarajan, a bank employee who worked in a branch of a rural bank. The character who is Tamilian by birth is happily married to Devi (Meera Vasudev). They have a daughter Vairamani, a plus two student who is very   close to her dad and with whom she shares her every day experiences.

Accidentally she becomes a victim to some horrific happenings and is molested by some who enjoys money and political power. Sivarajan who himself have to take trail of the evading culprits now approaches Ravi Varma (Suresh Gopi), a firebrand lawyer, who takes up the case with support from Annie Jacob, the reporter of a popular magazine. As the case gradually becomes sensational following the death of the victim, the government is also forced to assign D S P of Crime Branch Thomas Eeraali to probe into the issue. The movie follows this socially relevant issue and will offer plenty of references to a dozen of similar recent cases pending before courts.

The movie has a big star cast including Suresh Gopi, Mukesh, Jayasuriya, Thilakan, K P A C Laitha and Kalabhavan Mani. While Dhanya who debuted through `Thalappavu' plays Vairamani, Samvarutha Sunil is Annie Jacob.

Cheriyan Kalpakavady who find interests only in handling serious themes of this nature had been the writer of two other films like `Banaras' and `Bharya Swantham Suhurthu', which came out this year. `Vairam' will discuss the plight of girl child in contemporary Kerala society. It will be an eye opener to everyone who must release that it is high time, the law must be enacted and reformed to end the worries of parents, who are hit with similar tragedies inflicted by affluent forces. '''adds Cherian. The movie cinematographed by Sanjeev Sankar will have songs set by M Jayachandran in the lyrics by Girish Puthencherry.
