Learnt that Mammootty is doing the movie based on Basheer's novel "Shabdangal"

This novel is such an awesome read. But how is it possible to convert to a movie. The content requires some daring visual shots and also the protoganist requires to be a little younger than mammootty in the narrative.

If they are daring enough to be loyal to the novel and mammootty convince the audience in that role - then definite oru national award urudhi!..both for the director and mammootty.
