Vetrimaaran to direct Imayam’s Sahitya Akademi-winning novel Sellatha Panam

The Hindu  

Writer Imayam’s Sahitya Akademi award-winning novel Sellatha Panam, which holds a mirror to the Tamil society’s treatment of a woman, who married a man outside of her community, will be made into a film by acclaimed film director Vetrimaaran. Unlike Sahitya Akademi award which is being given to writers in all Indian languages every year, Kuvempu award is given to just one writer in a language annually. Moreover, it is not given by any government organisation like the Sahitya Akademi,” said Imayam, the first Tamil writer to win the award. In Tamil Nadu, Mr. Vetrimaaran excels in the art of converting modern literary works into films,” said Mr. Imayam, who won the Sahitya Akademi award for the novel in 2020.
