Curiosità

Vaisali is a 1989 Indian Malayalam-language epic mythological drama film directed and edited by Bharathan. Produced by M. M. Ramachandran and scripted by M. T. Vasudevan Nair, it was an adaptation of a sub-story told by Vedavyasa to Yudhishthira in the epic Mahabharatha. It is the story of Vaisali, a devadasi girl who was assigned the mission of seducing Rishyasringa, the son of Vibhandaka and bringing him to Champapuri to perform a Yajna to bring rain.

Production

Development on the film began roughly a decade before it was released. Bharathan had entertained the story in his mind for eight to ten years. Bharathan had approached several producers with the script. However, they were hesitant due to the parallel cinema tone to the subject matter, but finally Atlas Ramachandran agreed to produce the film. Bharathan had been planning to film Vaisali since 1982. But several factors made him wait till 1988.

Auditions were conducted by Bharathan and Ramachandran for the lead roles. Actress Suparna Anand had done an album at that time and was brought via an agency team. While the roles of Rishyashrungan and Vaishali were set. Bharathan then, met Babu Antony in Bombay (now Mumbai). As Bharathan was then working on Chilambu (1986), he decided to launch Babu Antony as the main antagonist in it.
