He revealed this in an interview given to actor and director Nadirshah. He opined that the film should be titled ‘Oommen Chandy’ and Mammootty would be the ideal choice to portray his father.

‘I want to make a film, named after my father. I would like his life journey to be portrayed in a movie titled Oommen Chandy. I think it would be wonderful if Mammootty played his role. One of the reasons for considering such a project is to raise funds for the charitable activities of the foundation established in my father's name. A film can also help preserve and record his legacy in history,’ Chandy Oommen said.
