Deedi Damodaran

Deedi Damodaran is an Indian women screenwriter who works in Malayalam cinema.The story of Deedi Damodaran's life changed when she began working on her doctoral thesis - 'Film and female.' That was when the keen enthusiast of cinema realised that none of the reel women seem to have anything to do with real women.Gulmohar (2008) is her first film in Malayalam directed by Jayaraj, starring Ranjith, Siddique, Augustine, and Neenu Mathew. She is the daughter of the veteran screen writer of Malayalam cinema T.Damodaran. The only way to rectify this, she felt, was to write a screenplay herself. And thus was born the first woman scriptwriter of Malayalam cinema and the script of Nayika, which was launched on the sidelines of the International Film Festival of Kerala in Thiruvananthapuram.
