The history of the film and the ways in which the character came to Kunjalimarakar are clear with a good speech. The words of Marakkar director Priyadarshan …
“The dream of making a film about the Kunjali family, who were adored by children as children, was carried on for many years.
However, the paradox is that Kozhikode does not have any remnants of the history from 1500 to 1600. All that remains is the Thalikshetra. When asked about Muhammad, he said that it may have been destroyed. But isn’t it necessary to have some clarity on where the palace of the greatest emperor Kerala has ever seen stood? “
Art direction and visual effects
The biggest challenge for the film was the art direction and the visual effects. With the acquisition of Sabu Cyril Production Design, that challenge was overcome. Because Sabu is the best production designer in India today. I told him that Sabu’s freedom can be taken in design. When the trailer of the movie was released, many people criticized that the image of Lord Ganesha was imprinted on the faces of the people. In fact, it is not Ganapati, but the elephant, the flag symbol of the Zamorin.
It is said that the elephant and the conch, the symbol of the present day government of Kerala, may have come from that history. That is why the flag elephant came in the face of the woodcutter. The problem is that many people do not have the historical sense to recognize the elephant as not being Ganapati.
