I follow my gut feeling and when it tells me I can do something, I go ahead (smiles)," he adds. I have always preferred stories that have a real-life connection, and it will always be so. The director has, in the past, moved away from his staple diet of family entertainers and made films like Payanam and Gouravam. I think that’s because he has created a name for himself over the years," he says. In this film too, after I had written a character, everyone who read the story asked me if I was planning on roping in MS Bhaskar for the role. If I did, they would have featured in all my films. "Every time a story demands a good performer, I go for actors like MS Bhaskar and Kumaravel. Humour comes naturally to me, and I’m blessed to have funny friends," says a smiling Radha Mohan, who also likes to work repeatedly with certain actors. "This genre is evergreen, and irrespective of the format, it will always find a place. Humour has always been Radha Mohan's forte. It was enough to have a passion for cinema earlier but today, unless you have sound knowledge about technology and computers, it’s impossible to be a filmmaker," says the director. For Malaysia to Amnesia, all the work has happened over digital conversations. When I became a director, I learned to write on my laptop.

"When I was an assistant director, I worked with carbon papers and handwritten scripts. The director takes pride in his adaptability. I think that the notion of these platforms catering to only thrillers or dark content has totally changed now," he said. I think this diversity of content is a great thing. I am seeing a lot of originals and native, regional content come up in recent times. "I think OTT platforms have a space for everything. The OTT space, with more freedom, has allowed filmmakers to create the type of content, or write the kind of dialogues, that would otherwise not be permissible. Here, we had to consider how it would all look on a mobile phone," he added. "With feature films for the theatre, we think about tailoring it for the bigscreen experience, in terms of visuals and sound. As a filmmaker in the industry for more than a decade, Radha Mohan found this to be a new learning. While most Tamil releases this year were those originally conceived for the theatre, Malaysia to Amnesia was made very much as an OTT film. Getting permission to shoot at various locations was a difficult proposition, and just as we thought the worst was far behind us, the second wave happened," he added. "All the meetings happened through Zoom calls, and we really took to technology. The script was designed, keeping all these restrictions in mind, and shooting with regulations turned out to be a unique experience," says the filmmaker. "We shot amid government restrictions and were not sure how the work would happen. The film is made for the pandemic, but interestingly, it was made during the pandemic as well.

In this film, we have spoken about family values and characters that realise their importance," says Radha Mohan who is well-known for films that instil the importance of values. How he comes out of that mess forms the rest of the story. "It is about a family man who ends up lying to his family before it takes a different turn altogether.
