Udayananu Tharam

Udayananu Tharam English Udayan Is the Star is a 2005 Malayalam black comedy film directed by Rosshan Andrrews and cowritten by Sreenivasan. Udayananu Tharam presents the Malayalam film industry through a satirical viewpoint. It is heavily inspired from the 1999 American film Bowfinger. The film stars Mohanlal, Sreenivasan, Meena, Jagathy Sreekumar, and Mukesh in the lead roles.

Udayananu Tharam is the story of Udayabhanu Mohanlal, a worshipper of films and an immensely talented assistant film director, who yearns to write and direct his own movie at a time when the industry is filled with dubious filmmakers. Rajappan Thengummoodu Sreenivasan is a rather crooked friend of Udayabhanu and an aspiring and failed actor. As Udayabhanu finally prepares to shoot his first movie based on his own script, he discovers to his horror that Rajappan has stolen his manuscript, and shooting is underway with Rajappan playing the lead, which eventually propels him to stardom. Udhayabhanu soon finds himself faced with a career and personal crisis, with his faltering relations with his superstar wife Madhumati Meena Durairaj contributing to the latter.Later, with the help of producer Babykuttan Mukesh, Udayabanu prepares to direct another film, but he is forced to cast Rajappan as the hero since he was the star with most screen value at that time. Rajappan takes up the offer, since he is also at a plateau of his career, but refuses to cooperate and throws tantrums and causes maximum trouble when possible. He spends most of his time actively flirting with the actresses in the film. ........
