Randamoozham (English: The Second Turn) is a 1984 Indian
The novel is a retelling of the Indian epic Mahabharata from the perspective of Bhima, the second Pandava. The story deviates from the traditional Mahabharata story as it avoids the divine elements of the ancient epic and re-represent the characters and events realistically. One of the reasons critics cite for the novel's cult following is its revisionism, that was a first in Malayalam literature. The book was translated into Tamil by Kurunjivelan as "Irandaam Idam" with the cover illustration by Trotsky Marudu.
A film adaptation starring Mohanlal was to be made and set to become India's most expensive film production of ₹1,000 crore (US$120 million) and the most expensive non-English-language film.[6] But the project has since been shelved.[citation needed]
