In a free-wisdom conversation with MetroplusBahul says that he did not pressurize himself thinking that this was the second season of a successful show. “Ahmed Ekka (Director of both KCF sessions, Ahmed Khabir) contacted me in September 2023 whether we could work in the new season. I was over now Kishaninda Kandam, He had only one month to pitch the idea of the story on the streaming platform. It is difficult for me to reach a thread in this way, my stories usually develop after writing only once. I also wanted to give enough time to find another story/writer if my idea would not work. However, he was confident and his only request was to include some characters of the first season to remind the audience of the franchise, ”is called a plural.
LV Prasad, a dominated Chennai, became a friend with Ahmed at the College of Media Studies, where he studied cinematography and did an internship by Ahmed. “Even though he had done a lot of internship before I joined, we met through mutual friends. I was eager to work with him, whether despite the format or my designation. Githin Stanislaus, the series’ DOP is also a senior,” he says.
Writing for KCF did not include a lot of research because many people would think. “I have kept the basic things down that I know, confirmed from what I read in newspapers, saw on social media, or heard from others. There was no reference to the police characters. Once I finished the script, I consulted a police officer as well as a police officer who helped Ahmed. Ekka In the first season. This was the one who gave us the word Passport Edichu KittyA phrase that uses for police transfer orders. ,

The specialization of a plural, when it comes to character development, is on the show in KCF as it was Kishaninda KandamThe way he sees the layers of the characters is a mainstay of the story. However, Bahul insisted that this is not intentional. “I don’t design my characters. Meditation is on writing original dialogues and when I do so, layers show as a sub -product of the process. I do not finalize the story and then write. The story develops because I work from the scene,” they tell.
In the context, she mentions the scene where Ambili asks her daughter to go to Ayyappan’s house and inquire about her. “Her reluctance indicates tension between two characters to go there. At the same time, I did not want the daughter’s character to be one-dimensional. It was only after establishing the base that I worked on the relationship between Ambili and Ayyappan.”

The plural was insisted that he was not worried about adopting his writing in a web series format, especially after each episode to a cliffhzer. “I didn’t follow that template. I wanted to keep it organic without any gimmick. It was about pushing the envelope and reaching a position naturally, as I traveled with my characters.”
In fact, he had an “interesting way” to fix the duration of each episode. “Ahmed Ekka Said that five episodes can be 30 minutes, and the final one may be a little longer. So, once I wrote the 40-page first episode, I gave it to my father to read. It took him 25 minutes and I knew that this could be the approximate time of that episode. In this way I found the meter to anchor my syntax. As I wrote in each episode, I took it to a conclusion, keeping in mind that period, without twist or clifhengars. Thus, each episode had an organic end. ,

Now when in the series ‘shows, dont tail’ approaches, especially the extractives, Bahul said that he did not want to take a clear path. “This is not an open end. We have kept all doubts to relax without clearly tell. The answer lies in the final scene when the great smiles, looking at the pack of dogs, thus declares that their speculation was correct.”

The interesting thing is that dogs are integral parts of the story and its discovery of human-pester bond is the warmth of the heart. “His roles became important because I started working on the script. We had an expert who helped us execute the scenes with dogs. It was clearly difficult to work on demand. The director and the DoP were enough patients to get the right shot.”
Regarding the characteristic of a dog with a cognitive disability, Bahul says that he came into a landscape at a friend’s house. He says, “He had a blind dog. It was a disturbing. But from here I got the idea that the dog with disabilities would be an interesting material for the series,” he says.
Being a writer was a dream. The plurally chose to put it on the back burner. “I knew that scripting films were a gambling. Your story could be rejected and if you are chosen then you don’t know that it would become a film. So I started to focus on cinematography, settled at that place and then write scripts.”

He is also open for criticism. “I want people to express their opinion, it is negative or positive. It is encouraging that they are at least thinking about it. I believe that such observation helps in the development of materials. Sometimes they surprise me with the conclusions that I had never thought about. It is inspiring that someone was trying to do something separate. Convenient, convenient or formula. ”
Meanwhile, he has completed shooting for Deenjith, starring Sandeep Pradeep, due to its release later this year.
