"Mohanlal and Suresh Kumar got into a fight": Director Kamal reveals background story of this hit movie

Behind every movie there are many stories that the audience does not know. Many such interesting incidents will be later revealed by its own crew members. Director Kamal has one such story to share.

"One day after dubbing, I was sleeping in the hotel room when I got a call. It must have been around 12.30. The voice on the other side of the phone is Mohanlal's. A few of us are here in Woodlands, can you come here, Lal asked. I went there. It was Suresh Kumar who opened the door of the room. I found something is off. Suresh's face is flushed and in anger. Lal is lying on the bed. Priyadarshan, actor Murali, Lal's friend Sanal Kumar and TA Razaq are there. There is a sign that something happened there. Suresh and Sanal were making films together under the name Revathi Kalamandir. It is clear that there has been some talk".

"Lal aksed me if I can urgently do a film for Suresh Kumar. I was amazed. Lal said there was a big fight between him and Suresh. It has been a long time since Mohanlal did a film for Suresh. They are playmates. After the fight, they took a decision to make a film with me as director. 'Vishnulokam' is the project that was conceived after that," Kamal said.
