Rishab Shetty Set To Replace Mohanlal In Randamoozham? All You Need To Know About MT Vasudevan Nair’s Epic Adaptation: Reports
Earlier this week, MT Vasudevan Nair's daughter, Ashwathi Nair, shared a heartfelt tribute on social media, remembering her father and his enduring legacy.
New Delhi: The late M. T. Vasudevan Nair, the legendary writer and filmmaker of Malayalam cinema, had long envisioned adapting his epic novel Randamoozham for the big screen. Following the veteran author's passing, the long-anticipated project is now reportedly moving forward toward a film adaptation. However, as per a report by Mathrubhumi, superstar Mohanlal will no longer portray Bheema, with the same reports linking Rishab Shetty to taking over the role.
Kannada actor and filmmaker Rishab Shetty is likely to direct 'Randamoozham'. Reportedly, MT Vasudevan Nair's family say that early talks had already happened. These discussions took place around one and a half years ago. It is said that MT himself showed interest and took the first step to talk to Rishab Shetty. An official announcement is expected sometime this year.

MT spoke to the plight of orphans, the grieved, the oppressed, the helpless and the isolated. Average Malayalees are the ones who carry the lonely depression of losses like there is no one to wait for me, no one is coming to see me. MT wrote while standing close to their depressions. MT told us 'will grow, will grow big, hand will have good strength'. MT expressed hope that he will fight his problems and win and that new wind and light will come," she continued.
