The first schedule of "Aami", directed by veteran Malayalam filmmaker Kamal, starts rolling in Kerala on September 25. It will be over by November 5. Following a break, it will then be shot in Mumbai and Delhi.
Das, an award winning and controversial writer, passed away at the age of 75 in 2009. Her decision to convert to Islam in 1999 had raised many eyebrows.
Following her death in 2009 at Pune, her body was brought to Thiruvananthapuram and was buried at the Palayam Juma Masjid located in the heart of the city.
