SN is one of the top screenwriters in the Malayalam film industry, known for his detective films. He has written the scripts of around forty films to date. His scripts for the “CBI” series were written by K. Madhu, and the series has five parts so far.
“Sethuramayer’s CBI” is the third film in the CBI series. In this 2004 film, there was a shocking twist – the Esho-Moshi twist. SN spoke regarding this twist in an interview with Kaumudi Movies.
“Twists and turns should not be predetermined when writing a script. The suspense and all these twists and turns have to emerge naturally. If it’s predetermined and revealed beforehand, it’s not a twist. It should arise organically from the story. We have to be patient; it’s crucial in this regard.
There was a twist in “Sethuramayer CBI,” where Jesus and Moshi appeared. It was a twist that shocked everyone. But I didn’t come across this twist while writing the story. Somewhere along the way, a twist came to my mind. I see things differently from others.
The biggest twist of the movie is in every feeling I have. That’s what I was thinking when I wrote this story: How am I going to do this? I pondered for months. At one point, I even thought, if I don’t get this story, I’m not going to continue. That’s how I got the Jesus-Mossy Twist,” SN said.
