There is growing excitement in the literary and film communities as reports suggest that filmmaker Rishabh Shetty may take on the ambitious task of adapting M.T. Vasudevan Nair’s celebrated novel Randamoozham for the big screen.
Randamoozham (translated as The Second Turn) is one of malayalam literature’s most acclaimed works, offering a unique retelling of the epic Mahabharata from the perspective of Bhima. Known for its profound storytelling, nuanced characterizations, and deep philosophical undertones, the novel has long been considered a challenging but highly rewarding source material for cinematic adaptation.
If rishabh Shetty, known for his innovative direction and successful films in South indian cinema, takes on this project, it could bring a fresh cinematic interpretation of the epic that balances literary depth with visual storytelling. Fans of the novel are particularly eager to see how the rich inner world of Bhima, as portrayed in M.T. Vasudevan Nair’s writing, will be translated into film.
Industry experts note that adapting a literary classic of this magnitude requires careful handling of narrative, character arcs, and cultural sensibilities, making it one of the most ambitious projects in recent times. Given Shetty’s previous works, there is optimism that he can maintain the essence of the original novel while creating a visually compelling and emotionally resonant cinematic experience.
While official confirmation from rishabh Shetty and the production team is still awaited, the possibility of this adaptation has already sparked excitement among literature enthusiasts, cinephiles, and the general public alike. If realized, it promises to be a landmark project in indian cinema, bridging the worlds of literature and film.
