Randamoozham (English: The Second Turn) is a 1984 Indian Malayalam-language mythological drama novel written by the Indian author M. T. Vasudevan Nair, widely credited as his masterpiece.[2] The work won the Vayalar Award, given for the best literary work in Malayalam, in 1985.[3] It also won the Muttathu Varkey Award in 1994. The novel has been translated to multiple languages. It was translated into English as Second Turn by P. K. Ravindranath in 1997. Another English translation by Gita Krishnankutty published in 2013 is titled Bhima: Lone Warrior.[4][5]
The novel is a retelling of the Indian epic Mahabharata from the perspective of Bhima, the second Pandava. The story deviates from the traditional Mahabharata story as it avoids the divine elements of the ancient epic and re-represent the characters and events realistically. One of the reasons critics cite for the novel's cult following is its revisionism, that was a first time in Malayalam literature. The book was translated to Tamil by Kurunjivelan as "Irandaam Idam" with cover illustration by Trotsky Marudu.
Mohanlal had some time ago been roped in to star in Randamoozham, which created a great deal of buzz among fans. There were plans to shoot the film on a budget of Rs 1000 crore, making it the most expensive Indian movie ever. The biggie, however, never took off. During a recent interview, Lalettan confirmed that it won't be happening as things have changed after the Covid-19 pandemic. Randamoozham, based on the popular Malayalam novel of the same name, was to be directed by VA Shrikumar.advertisementMOHANLAL SHARES A DISAPPOINTING UPDATEMohanlal, last seen in 12th Man, recently opened up about his upcoming projects. Speaking to Manorama, the Complete Actor said that he has an interesting lineup of films but Randamoozham does not feature in it.
The screenplay of Randamoozham is finally back where it belongs. M.T. Vasudevan Nair, who has adapted his classic novel for the screen, has been handed over the script by director V.A. Shrikumar Menon.
A Kerala court has issued a temporary injunction on the use of the M.T. Vasudevan Nair-penned script of the film adaptation of his Mahabharat-based Malayalam novel Randamoozham on the ground of inordinate delay in starting filming.
Earlier, Vasudevan Nair had revealed to media that he was quitting the project as his contract for the screenplay had overshot the three-year deadline for completing the film. Shrikumar had reasoned that the project was delayed due to several international contracts and financial planning. Randamoozham, a Malayalam novel penned by Vasudevan Nair in 1984, won the Vayalar Award for the best literary work in Malayalam in 1985. It is a version of the Mahabharata from the perspective of epic hero Bheema.
