Fazil Vs Appachan

Swargachithra Appachan, the well known Malayalam film producer now shifts to Tamil, where Mr. Fazil, his one-time friend and now a foe tries to get the turf smooth.

Not long years ago, Appachan was a mere planter at Kozhikode.Then on one fine day he went to Alapuzha to make fazil direct a film for him. But Fazil was not at all willing.But it was not easy to turn Appachan away that quickly. Fazil had to accept the offer at the end, though reluctantly.
He was almost sure that the film would be a flop. But Appachan was more than willing to take the risk and the film came out . And it was an instant hit.That marked the birth of a new producer in Malayalam. - Swargachithra Appachan.
And that was the beginning of a long term tie too .From then on, Fazil was the sole director of all Appachan films.The association flourished through box office success. But happy days were never lo last forever.
Setbacks began to occur. A handful of films failed at the box office. Hard earned money lost. Waking up to the gravity of the situation, typical of a businessman, Appachan began withdraw gradually from the projects.
The long-time associates and close friends began to rift apart.The relationship strained most when Fazil came to know that Appachan had sold the rights of Manichithrathaazhu to Tamil producers.
To add insult to injury, Fazil was not invited to the marriage of Appachans son.
During these period, Fazil was facing more and more misfortunes.So, after a series of box office failures in malayalam, Fazil has finally decided to switch over to tamil. But misfortune is following him to Tamil too, it seems.
The recent film Orunal Oru Kanavu didn't perform well.At this point that Appachan enters the Tamil arena to try his luck. like Fazil, he too doing this this switch over after suffering some continuous defeats in Malaylam. At Kollywood, S J Soorya is his director and Vijay is the hero.
Who will strike gold first at Thamizhakom?The film prince of Alappuzha or the businessman from Kozhikode?
