The film's script was written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair in the 1970s and was filmed by Hariharan himself in the name Evideyo Oru Sathru with veteran actor [[Sukumaran]] playing an important role (this character was donned by his son Indrajith Sukumaran in the 2013 film). However, the original film, which was buffed in the industry circles to be a trendsetter, did not get a commercial release.

==Synopsis==
Set in the forests of [[Wayanad]], ''Ezhamathe Varavu'' is a multilayered story that delineates the link between man and nature. It revolves around three principal characters — a planter, his wife and his friend. Gopi, a wealthy planter is an Alpha male, a hunter who assumes he knows the jungle and its creatures. Bhavana plays his long-suffering wife, who craves for his company and affection. Into their turbulent marriage comes Vineeth, an archaeologist on a dig in Wayanad. He turns out to be her college beau. Kavitha plays a tribal who introduces Vineeth to the forests and its inhabitants.<ref>{{cite news |author=Saraswathy Nagarajan |date=5 September 2013| title=Encounters in the wild |newspaper=The Hindu |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/encounters-in-the-wild/article5096283.ece |accessdate=15 September 2013}}</ref>
