In an interview with The Indian Express, director Pawan Kumar shared his experience of working with Fahaad Faasil. "Every other actor with a bankable box office was very scared about taking up this film. Fahadh, on the other hand, is an actor who enjoys a considerable fan base but is not limited to a single genre. Instead, he fearlessly explores various extremes with each project he undertakes," he told The Indian Express.
He further added, "One thing that I have understood in the eight to 10 months that I worked with him is that Fahadh is an actor and not a star, which is what makes him very free. Whenever I had a wild idea in mind, he would push the boundaries even further and amplify its craziness. Looking back, I’m grateful that it took 15 years for this project to finally materialise.”
Pawan Kumar also talked about how he came up with the idea of 'Dhoomam'. "My movies are derived from something that disturbs me. It is essential that these sources of inspiration resonate with me on a personal level. When a particular subject matter begins to stir strong emotions within me, I make a story with it and explore that feeling through the characters. Eventually, this process yields something captivating and compelling. So, as I delved deep into this topic, I started understanding how the tobacco industry works. As the journey progressed, I got a narrative that I felt like sharing with a larger audience,” he told The Indian Express.
'Dhoomam' revolves around a man, who wakes up with no memory of his past and is forced to piece together his identity. While trying to figure things out, he finds out a dark secret that threatens to destroy him.
