As an ardent fan of MT Vasudevan Nair, I find myself deeply saddened and anxiously awaiting updates about his health. The man who has woven tales that have become an integral part of Malayalam literature and cinema is currently battling a critical phase in his life.
Noted Malayalam screenwriter and author MT Vasudevan Nair has been taken to a hospital in Kozhikode following a heart attack, where he currently remains in a serious condition.
As per Mathrubhumi’s report, the individual is being looked after by cardiologists and critical care specialists due to heart failure. His current status involves close monitoring of his heart functions.
I’ve been anxiously following updates, and as per what I’ve gathered, a medical statement was issued earlier about MT Vasudevan Nair’s health. It appears he can’t speak or move right now, which has left me deeply concerned. His wife and younger daughter are by his side at the hospital, offering support during this challenging time.
In simple terms, Madath Thekkepaattu Vasudevan Nair, often called MT, has been an unyielding influence in Malayalam literature and screenwriting for many years. Although he was a university student studying chemistry at the age of 20, he achieved considerable fame through his fictional works and short stories.
At just 23 years old, he wrote his debut novel, Naalukettu (later known as The Legacy in English), which won him the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award in 1958. Throughout his career, he created numerous literary masterpieces such as Asuravithu, Kaalam, and the critically acclaimed Randamoozham, a fresh take on the Mahabharata from Bhimasena’s point of view.
Beyond being an author in Malayalam, this writer also made a substantial impact in the realm of Malayalam cinema through his screenwriting endeavors. He embarked on his screenwriting career with the 1965 film “Murappennu” and penned numerous original and adapted screenplays for films based on his own narratives.
1989 saw him receiving the National Award for Best Screenplay for the movie “Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha,” starring Mammootty. This timeless film in Malayalam cinema was inspired by a subplot of the medieval ballad series, “Vadakkan Pattukal.
Additionally, the author delved into film direction starting from his first directorial project “Nirmalayam” in 1973. Following this, he worked on films such as Manju and Kadavu until his sixth and last movie titled “Oru Cheru Punchiri.
The collection of stories titled “Manorathangal” has been adapted lately, with performances from actors like Mohanlal, Mammootty, and Fahadh Faasil, among others. This anthology was inspired by a sequence of nine tales written by the same author.
