Menon
commented on this saying,"We are creating our content and at
the same time providing employment for the students that pass out
from our academy"
In the original Malayalam film released a few years ago(with two
sequels subsequently) Mohanlal and Sreenivasan enact the roles of
two educated unemployed youths whole job-hunting escapades land
them into solving crimes that even the state police could not solve.
A thankful police department happily accommodates them as detective
inspector and detective constable respectively.
"The
script and the story board depicts their natural penchant for solving
crimes by serendipity rather than by investigative acumen. This
gives rise to many hilarious situations just like in the original
films. Our attempt shall be to continuously retain the thread of
comedy over every episode to make it enjoyable to viewers of every
age group" said Menon.
"While
the production including Layout, Animation, Background, Inbetweening
, Clean up and Digital work would be carried out at the Academy’s
studio, the post production works like music, dubbing and editing
will be completed at Mohanlal’s own Video and Film Complex
Studio at Trivandrum, which would soon have facilities for Dolby/DTS,
making it the first of its kind in Kerala" he added.
"We
haven't spoken to any TV channel yet. Initially we plan to create
the series in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada languages and
if the response is good we will dub the series in Hindi and other
Indian langauges" concluded Menon
