It's been a long and tough road for the serial's producer-director duo. The serial begins with Monu's birthday celebrations and a startling revelation thereafter. He does not remember his parents or siblings. Monu, the youngest of the four, was but a baby when he was given up for adoption by his terminally ill and widowed mother. Ranjith under the banner of Rajaputra Visual Media and directed by Aadithyan, the story takes off exactly 16 years after we saw the children going their separate ways after the funeral of their mother. This television-meets-cinema sequel is perhaps a-first-of-its-kind in India, though it's been done before in the West – ‘The Prisoner,' ‘The Highlander' and ‘The Day of the Triffids,' and so on, being some examples. Remember ‘Akashadoothu' (1993), the heart-rending tale of four orphaned children that made Kerala weep? Now ‘Akashadoothu' makes a comeback, not on the silver screen, but as a mega serial! Catch up on the lives of the four children in this sequel to the cult movie, which will go on air on Surya TV soon.
