Ramancham was one of the biggest hit movies last year. A Hindi remake of this film was to be released. The truth is that since the announcement of the Hindi remake of the movie, Malayalees did not have much excitement. Because most of the Malayalam movies are remade into foreign languages. But Malayalees had a hope ever since they got to know who the director of this movie is. Because Sangeeta Sivan took up the direction of this movie.
The name of the movie was decided as Kapkapi. The first look poster of this movie was released last March. Director Sangeeta Sivan left us just as the release of the film was approaching. Sangeeta Sivan is the director who has given many hit movies to Malayalees including Yoddha. He died in Mumbai. He was undergoing treatment in a hospital in Mumbai. Many people are now coming forward to pay their respects to him.
Sangeet Sivan's first directorial debut was Vyuham which was released in the year 1990. Raghuvaran and Sukumaran played the central characters in this movie. This film was prepared as a police crime story. This movie had a very different making and story telling.
But it was the movie Yoddha that made him a star. This movie was made in a way that Malayalees had never seen before. Martial arts are used very well in this movie. Apart from this, he was able to present the concepts of Buddhism and monasticism in this film very well. This movie is considered as one of the best Malayalam movies of all time.
