+== Fazil (b. 1953) ==
+
+Successful Malayalam director, and one of the
+first to make the transition into big-budget
+Tamil films. Born in Alleppey, Kerala; theatre
+director and actor while at university. Degree
+in literature; later worked with Kavalam
+Narayana Panicker’s theatre group
+Thiruvarung. Film début assisting A. Vincent.
+Directorial début: the musical Manjil Virinja
+Pookkal which he also scripted and produced.
+Since then has been associated with the urban
+middle-class family musical melodrama, e.g.
+the Ilaiyaraja musical hit Poove Poo Chooda
+Va. His Tamil films are sometimes adapted
+from his own Malayalam hits (e.g. the
+melodrama Ente Mamattukuttiamma
+remakes En Bommu Kutti Ammavukku),
+although the incisiveness of the original
+(according to critic K. Hariharan) is usually
+diluted to suit the populist tastes of Tamil
+distributors. Varusham 16 was the Tamil debut
+of major star Khushboo. Co-directed the widely
+discussed Manichitratharazu.
