Thiruvananthapuram: Even before the film has started to roll, veteran Malayalam filmmaker Kamal knows it well that Aami, based on the life of writer Kamala Das aka Kamala Surayya, will run into controversies. And he is ready to face it.
"Vidya Balan will be playing the central role in Aami, which is the tale of the life and times of acclaimed writer and poet Madhavikutty alias Kamala Surayya," Kamal told reporters here on Tuesday.
She was known as Aami to her close ones and hence, Kamal did not have to think twice for the title of the film.
Kamal has written the script of the film and will be directing it too.
"I know this very well that there are going to be controversies with the film. It tells the life story of the popular writer as I see it and interpreted it. So, there could be differences of opinion. I am ready to face it," said Kamal.
The first schedule of the film that starts rolling in Kerala on September 25, will be over by November 5. Following a break, it will then be shot in Mumbai and Delhi.
