Film director Nisam Basheer says he will talk only about the genre of Rorschach, the Mammootty-starrer releasing on October 7. “It’s a psychological thriller. If I tell you the about plot or the character, the suspense will be lost,” he insists. His reluctance to give away even a one-liner of the story is evident.
This is the second film of the Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha director, who has scripted this film along with Sameer Abdul, scenarist of Iblis and Adventures of Omanakuttan. A one-line story narrated by Sameer intrigued Nisam and then they worked on the script, developing it and polishing it for nearly two years. Once they completed the script, Nisam felt the veteran would be the best for the role of Luke Antony, the protagonist, with shades of grey.
Mammootty was game when he heard the story and also agreed to come on board as producer of the film. “That was eight months before we began the shooting of the film. We did make small changes during the period,” he adds.
