Deedi Damodaran: Film Industry Is Yet To Give John Abraham A Tribute That He Deserves

John Abraham, who placed Malayalam cinema on the map of international films, has been given a tribute 31 years after he left the world. His friends decided to make a biopic on the veteran director. The film titled John is directed by Prem Chand and written by Deedi DamodaraResul Pookutty released the teaser of the film on his death anniversary on May 31.

Prem Chand, an ardent follower of John has the idea of making a movie since years and he has been working on it for the past five years. “The youth today have not much idea about John and his contribution to Malayalam cinema. All that they know is that there is someone called John Abraham”, recollects Deedi Damodaran. “We felt that there is no point in calling ourselves film activist or social activist if we aren’t giving a tribute to John, which has been due for decades,” she explains.

Prem Chand asserts that Malayalam film industry is yet to give John Abraham a tribute that he very much deserves. “"Our film captures John Abraham's attempt to collaborate with the public to overcome the dependence on capital and thus liberate and empower the medium. I feel he should be acknowledged, before I leave the world,” he says. The 75-minute-long film is currently under post-production stage.
