Director Lal Jose to remake of Diamond Necklace

After giving four back-to-back hits in Malayalam cinema, popular director Lal Jose is in talks to remake his Fahad Fazil starrer `Diamond Necklace` in Bollywood.

Jose struck gold at the box office in these one-and-a-half years with `Diamond Necklace`, Prithviraj-starrer `Ayalum Njanum Thammil` in 2012, Mammooty starrer `Immanuel` and more recently with `Pullipuliyam Aatinkuttiyum` (Kunchako Bobban), which was set against the backdrop of Kuttanad, Kerala`s rice bowl in Alappuzha district.

Jose has delivered bigger hits in his career, starting starting with his debut film in 1998 Mammooty starrer `Oru Maravathur Kanavu` but there have been failures also.”This is the first time that I had four hits in a row. Hope this will continue. I think when the planning becomes right, my likes and convictions are in sync with the majority of the people, the film becomes a hit,” Jose said.

Jose does not have much expectation about his films winning awards. People had predicted the 2006 film `Classmates`, which became the highest grosser in the Malayalam film industry despite having newcomers will fetch him the national award for the best director. But the movie bagged only the best popular film award for critical value.

“I do not have any such expectations. You see, my focus is to give a different presentation to the film, subject wise, location wise and treatment. That is my identity and I work towards that… Awards come much later so I don`t get disappointed if I don`t get it and if I win one, I do not assume that I am the best in the industry,” Jose said.
