Meera in ‘Pokkiri Raja’

Meera Jasmine always had a shaky and irregular career in every film industries of the South. A talented actress who had even won a National award, she had been reported as a problem artist in some sets. But the immense powers house of emoting talents in her had helped her for a comeback, whenever she was sent off for petty reasons from any south Indian language.

Thus Meera who had some rifts with the artist associations and filmmakers of Malayalam had been keeping away from Mollywood, working with her projects in Telugu and Kannada. The actress who has recently returned to Mollywood to shoot for the new Rajeev Anchal movie, tentatively titled as 'Paattinte Paalazhy' has been approached for the heroine role in the new Mammootty movie 'Pokkiri Raja'. The actress is reported to have agreed to do the role, though for a high price.

The movie to be directed by debutante Vysakh Abraham will also feature Prithviraj in an important role.

Pazhassi surprises with the collections

Though the hype was huge, no one expected the magnum opus historical 'Pazhaasi Raja' to win hands down. The movie which grossed around 1.53 crores in its opening day, became the film with the highest ever opening day collections. But Pazhassi's run is destined to create further more records in Mollywood, as the movie has repeated the feat in almost every centres in the last two days too-the Deepavali day and the Sunday. The movie is expected to have collected over four crores from its three day run in 125 centres. Around 10 lakhs of Malayalees are calculated to have completed their first viewing of the biggest ever movie in Mollywood, in the first three days, in the 1830 screenings all across Kerala.

More over, the satellite rights of Pazhassi Raja is rumoured to have went at an astonishing rate of 2.60 crores, the highest ever for Mollywood movie. 'Pazhassi Raja' will get into theatres in Tamil Nadu by the 30th of this month. With Sarath Kumar getting much accolades for his big performance in a big role, the movie is expected to make a decent run in Tamil Nadu too.

If the movie can continue with an eighty percent collections for two more weeks, add to it the chances of a five crore plus from Tamil Nadu and foreign prints, 'Pazhassi Raja' is expected to break even, though it is made in huge budget. This can be a heavy sign of promise for other big budgeted multi starrers that are under different stages of their production.

Stampede at Dubai for Mammootty’s Show

Superstar Mammootty is a big name not only in Kerala, but also overseas.

Especially, when compared to other countries, his fans are plentiful in Dubai, as it has a large number of Keralites.

The final episode of the popular reality show 'Mammootty: The Best Actor Award 2009' was organized in Dubai by Asianet. And to be more specific this is the first time in the history of Malayalam Television Channels, that a programme is named after a living legend like Mamookka.

The big mess started only after nearly fifteen thousand fans tried to enter a venue which could have room for only seven thousand people. Fans tried to gatecrash into the venue, leaving several people injured in a stampede.

The Dubai police had a tough time controlling the mob, as the 70-member security staffs were ineffective to manage the huge crowd. Almost immediately, the Dubai police was called and they ran to safe guard the Malayalam Superstar from his over-excited fans.

What to say? A good plan turned into heartbreak…

Sify review of pazhassiraja: Excellent

Hariharan, MT Vasudevan Nair and Mammootty's exhilarating epic Pazhassi Raja is a monumental film, one that will be treasured for years to come. It is a gutsy and outstanding film from the masters, a movie that goes beyond the message.

Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja narrates a truly fascinating epoch in India's history. It's a film that inspires us to be grateful for all those who gave their lives to make our country free. One that instils a sense of pride in viewers minds, for being born in this blessed land! The sincerity that has gone into the making of the film is evident in every frame of this 3 hours 20 minutes classic. No two ways about it; let's salute all those who have put in their efforts to make it happen.

Director Hariharan and writer M T Vasudevan Nair says about an important episode, which is Pazhassi Raja's war against the British that happened more than 50 years before the first war of Independence in 1857. Well, it is already known that the history books in general have not been too kind to the Raja by not mentioning much about his patriotism, valour or his role in India's freedom struggle.

The film begins during the time when the British had ordered to levy heavy taxes from the various kingdoms and Pazhassi Raja (Mammootty), who belonged to the Kottayam Royal family in Thalassery of Malabar region in Kerala, opposed this. After being forced to flee with his Queen Kaitheri Makkom(Kaniha), Lieutenant Edachena Kunkan (Sarathkumar) and Kaitheri Ambu (Suresh Krishna) to the forests, Pazhassi Raja started guerilla warfare against the British from the forests in Wayanad. He had the support of the tribal warriors like Thalackal Chanthu (Manoj K Jayan) and Neeli(Padmapriya).

After some initial successes, Pazhassi's army soon started facing setbacks as they found the going tough against the guns and modern machinery of the English soldiers. The brave Raja and his faithful gang of warriors were defeated by the army led by the young British sub-collector Thomas Baber, with the help of some traitors like Pazhayamveedan Chanthu(Suman).

Mammootty is grace personified and the perhaps the best thing about him as the mighty Pazhassi Raja is that it is virtually impossible to imagine anyone else in his place. Shorn of any artifice or nervous energy he is real. 20 years after Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha, he still looks majestic and handsome. Without doubt, this is one of the best roles in his illustrious career.

The surprise packet is Sarath Kumar, who looks perfectly fit, heroic and absolutely invincible as Edachena Kunkan. Kaniha looks beautiful even without any make-up or jewellery and has the royal look that is required for her role as Kaitheri Makkom.

As the fierce tribal girl who fights like a cheetah, Padmapriya excels in her role as Neeli. Manoj K Jayan, Suresh Krishna and Suman have all done their job quite convincingly. The rest of the cast, which include the English actors like Linda Arsenio, also delivers an inspiring performance.

Hariharan and MT Vasudevan Nair have proved their brilliance when they team up several times before and once again, they underline their eminence, with a genuine effort. The technical aspects like Ramanath Shetty's cinematography, Ravi Dewan's action, Resul Pookkutty's sound and Sreekar Prasad's editing have also succeeded in taking to a different level.

Yes, there are aspects which one feels could have been better,like Ilayaraja's music but the film as a whole is good enough that makes us forget those flaws. Critics might say that the film has taken some cinematic liberties and in fact it does but on the whole it is engaging and entertaining.

Gems like these happen only once in a while and when it does, never give it a miss. Two big thumbs up for this masterpiece of our times!

Verdict: Excellent

Pazhassiraja review by rediff[3.5/5]:Pazhassi Raja is brilliant

The initial response when you come out of the theatre after watching the hugely mounted Malayalam film Pazhassi Raja is pleasant surprise. Until now we have only heard complaints of financial constrain from the filmmakers for low production values and haphazardly put up story lines.

But this movie made on a budget of average ten Malayalam movies, has a quality that has never been seen before.

It is the tale of a historical superhero, narrated in a typical filmi fashion with many moments that stir up excitement in the audience. Pazhassi Raja (Mammootty) is said to have revolted against the British even before the famous revolt of 1857 began. His oft-repeated argument is -- should people who came to trade pepper and cardamom be allowed to govern us?

M T Vasudevan Nair's script has lots of cinematic moments that give scope to use Mamootty's megastar image to good use as a person who uses the capability of people from different sections of society to fight the foreign intruders.

Pazhassi who has been termed as revolutionary by the British uses techniques of guerrilla warfare against them. For this he avails the expertise of tribals lead by Thalakkal Chanthu (Manoj K Jayan). There are other people also who unflinchingly support him like Edachena Kunkan (Sarath Kumar), who is his commander-in-chief.

This film is technically several notches above the standard fare offered in Malayalam cinema. It would not be an exaggeration if we say that it is comparable to the best in Indian cinema.

The camera work by Venu and Ramanath Shetty give the film a sleek look. The action sequences remind us of the internationally acclaimed Chinese martial art movies of recent times like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero.

Mamootty may be the hero of this film but, he does not hog the limelight. There is ample scope for other stars like Sarath Kumar and even Manoj K Jayan to exhibit their histrionic skills and use their star aura.

The ensemble of the supporting cast is also used well. Padmapriya as Neeli, who is engaged to Thalakkal Chandu has good scope to do action sequences.

If we wish to go into nitpicking, we can say that sentimentalism bogs down the pace. But that is only a minor glitch considering the overall finesse of the product.

The reunion of the team who gave us the classic Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha has a winner on its hands, if not a classic of the same proportion.

Pazhassiraja review by nowrunning[4/5]!!!!

'Pazhassi Raja' is a sweeping historical epic about the legendary hero of Kottayam Padinjare Kovilakam who rallied Kurichiyar natives for a guerilla war against the British rule.

It's a stirring and majestic film that serves as a brilliant tribute to an age when a bunch of gallant men and women fought a valiant battle to guard their honor; to each one of those blessed souls laid down in a long winding, bloody war determined to liberate a country from the shackles of tyranny and oppression.

The story commences at a far more unhurried pace than what follows, introducing the viewers to Pazhassi being ousted out of his palace by the British army, on the behest of his own uncle. Taking refuge in the mountainous terrains of Wynad, Pazhassi unleashes a tough battle against the Queen that marked the beginning of a resistance movement against the British rule in the state.

Hariharan's film is truly a masterpiece in that it has the manner, matter and mood of a monumental epic, in the finest sense of the word. This is no ordinary film that tells the story of a hero; rather, it's a stellar celluloid piece that vividly recaptures every moment in history, never for a moment losing out on the human drama, never compromising on its immense scope or scale, never ever letting go of its elaborate craft and detail.

The film is full of invigorating battle sequences that literally involve a mammoth cast of hundreds and hundreds of people. Magnificently staged, they feel real, and mounted on a giant-scale entertainment canvas, this is perhaps the first time ever that a Malayalam film awes you on account of its visual brilliance. There are any number of spectacular sequences here that would surprise you on account of their visceral energy.

'Pazhassi Raja' has a running time of nearly three hours and twenty minutes, but M.T's script has enough compelling momentum to keep the viewers focused on the film. While the bloodshed is raw, so is the passion and the film packs quite a punch, as a war legend that combines the most powerful principles of traditional storytelling with state-of-the-art technical supplements.

Ramnath Shetty comes up with sheer poetry and achieves a picturesque fineness with the imagery, as his camera pans the enormous landscapes, mountains and caverns, dense jungles and rivers. As the dazzling visuals gently blend in with the heavenly background score by Ilayaraja, the outcome is pure, blissful harmony. Resul Pookkutty who has worked up wonders aplenty with the exceptional sound direction, Sreekar Prasad who has remarkably edited this magnum opus and Ravi Diwan who has impressively choreographed the overwhelming action sequences deserve a special mention as well.

Mammooty's central performance is as sturdy as it gets, and his Warrior King inspires, in both his messianic passion and his steadfast valor. Sarath Kumar as Edachena Kunkan, delivers an exhilarating act that should be the best in his career as yet. Manoj K Jayan and Suresh Krishna, along with Padmapriya and Kaniha, come up with outstandingly impressive feats and make this historical film a treasure house of fine performances.

A breathtaking film that demands repeated screenings, 'Pazhassi Raja' might very well be the best you get to see for a very long while. An exotic chronicle that stuns us with its fascinating tale, this is the stuff that tours de force are made of.

'Pazhassi' gets bumper opening, Mammootty on cloud nine

"Pazhassi Raja", said to be the costliest Malayalam film to date, received an overwhelming response at the box office when released Friday. Superstar Mammootty, who plays the lead in it, is on cloud nine and says this is the "movie of the century".

Mammootty on cloud nine and basking in glory told IANS over telephone that this is the cinema of the century.

"My mobile hasn't stopped ringing since morning and each and every caller is as excited as I am. Believe me, this is what inspires me to work harder," Mammootty, who is shooting for his next film "Chattambinadu" at Palani, told IANS.

The film has been made at a budget of over Rs.25 crore (Rs.250 million) and has been dubbed in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil.

Mammootty said it was worth waiting for the movie.

"I am of course happy and what made me happier is the fact that people said they felt a sense of patriotism after seeing the film. That is why I feel that this is the cinema of the century," added the superstar who has had an excellent 2009 year with all his films becoming box office hits.

Expectations were high from "Pazhassi Raja" because Mammootty, eminent writer M.T. Vasudevan Nair and director Hariharan came together after two decades. Other high points of the film are Illayaraja's music and the sound effects by Oscar winner Resul Pookutty.

The film is set in the 18th century and is about Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja of the Kottayam royal family. Irked by the revenue policy of East India Company in Malabar, Pazhassi Raja's was one of the first voices to be raised against British rule in India, though not many people are aware of him outside Kerala.

The State Government has decided to give a tax exemption in the ticket rates of the magnum opus historical 'Pazhassi Raja'. The government has offered a fifty percent exemption in tax rates for this Mammootty starer, which is the biggest budgeted film ever to be made in Malayalam. Earlier the producers has demanded a hike in ticket rates for quite some days but the government did not pay heed to their demands. And now the fans and opening week viewers who were earlier planning to watch the movie with higher rates than usual can have their watch with lesser ticket charges.

Produced by Gokulam films, the movie is now ready to grace the theatres by this 16. The prints and Digital copies are all ready and the movie opt for the biggest ever release in 125 centres, which means that the movie will be offered at least in a theatre in every 10-15 kms ,all across the state. In the capital city, 'Pazhassi Raja' will open in 4 theatres with a combined seating capacity of 4000, while in Ernakulam and Calicut, the movie will open in 3 centres each. The plans of the producers seems to be to grab in, the maximum of the initial collections. And with the hype the movie is getting, its is almost sure that it will earn the biggest of the opening week collections ever registered in Malayalam Box Office.

Pazhassi Raja confirmed on Oct 16!

Producer Gokulam Gopalan has confirmed that his Rs 25 crore big budget Mammootty epic Pazhassi Raja will make it to 125 screens across Kerala from Friday October 16.
Says Gokulam Praveen, the executive producer of the film: "Yes the prints and digital format is ready and Pazhassi Raja will make it to the theatres from this Friday (Oct 16). It is to release in 125 screens across Kerala making it the biggest ever release in the history of Malayalam films."
The producers are going for saturation release, as every five kilometers there will be a screen in Kerala showing the mammoth epic picture. In Thiruvananthapuram the film is releasing in four screens (New, Sreekumar, Kripa and Dhanya) with a total capacity of nearly 4000!
In Ernakulam, it is releasing in three screens (Sarita, Savitha and Sangeetha), while in Kozhikode it is opening in three huge screens (Apsara, Kairali and Radha).
The idea seems to be to gross the maximum revenue in the first week. The buzz created around the film is huge, so it will take a gigantic opening. The MT Vasudevan Nair- Hariharan-Mammootty trio who last came together in the super hit Vadakkan Veeragatha, nearly two decades ago is back with another potential winner.
Mammootty, speaking on the sidelines of the FEFSI conference in Chennai told reporters: " Pazhassi Raja will be a landmark movie that is sure going to create history. I'm very happy the way the film has shaped out."
Meanwhile Pazhassi Raja will have a solo release, as it looks like Angel John will not make it to theatres on the same day. There will be a two week gap between the biggie and others who are now planning to release only on October 31.

No ticket rise; Pazhassi for 16

The fans of the megastar will have a big sigh of relief as Gokulam films, the producers of magnum opus 'Pazhassi Raja' have decided not to pursue the demand for a ticket hike. The movie will now release on 16th as per the recent intimations. The fans associations of the star have been making all the grand arrangements to receive the biggest of Mammootty's movies. The movie is expected to open in 120 centres in the state of Kerala, for this Diwali.

Quite a few will also remember the fate of Mammootty's another big budget movie 'Dubai' which came almost a decade ago. The movie makers also decided for a ticket hike - double the rate for the initial few days - But the movie sank in the Box Office within a day, with little viewers coming up to watch the movie buying the astronomically priced tickets. And it never really regained the lost initial collections and still 'Dubai' is cited as the biggest debacle in the career of the megastar.

The only movie that managed the tempo even with a ticket raise was AMMA's 'Twenty: 20'. The movie was offered with a 50 percent ticket raise for the first three days. But the trick worked in favour of the movie, as it paraded almost all popular stars of the industry in smaller or bigger roles. 'Twenty: 20' easily went on to become one of the biggest hits of last year.

‘Pazhassi Raja’ will be an event in film history: Says:Megastar Mammootty

Malayalam superstar Mammootty says his forthcoming magnum opus "Pazhassi Raja", said to be the costliest Malayalam film to date, will be an "event in the history of films".
There are huge expectations from "Pazhassi Raja", which sees Mammooty, eminent writer M.T. Vasudevan Nair and director Hariharan coming together for a film after 20 long years.
The actor maintains he is not nervous before the release, scheduled for Friday.
"Is there any use if I'm under pressure now? That time is over and this film is going to be an event in the history of films," Mammootty told IANS.
The film has been made at a budget of over Rs.25 crore and will be dubbed in Hindi, Telegu and Tamil.
The film is set in the 18th century and is about Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja of the Kottayam royal family. Irked by the revenue policy of East India Company in Malabar, Pazhassi Raja's was one of the first voices to be raised against British rule in India, though not many people are aware of him outside Kerala.
Vasudevan Nair, Hariharan and Mammootty last teamed up for "Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha" and created magic on celluloid. The film fetched the actor a National Award.
"Pazhassi Raja" has music by Illayaraja and the sound effects have been looked after by Oscar winner Resul Pookutty.
The film's release had been delayed and Mammootty is relieved that it will hit theatres soon.
"It has certainly been a very long wait and of course I am relieved that it is finally going to be released," the actor said.

Playhouse with ‘Raavu Maayumpol’

The production-distribution firm Playhouse led by Mammootty had been bold enough to give a helping hand to films like 'Rithu' and 'Kaana Kanmani'. While the former turned out to be profit maker for Playhouse, the later didn't fare better at the Box office, though it was released during Onam. Anyhow, Playhouse has started the plans for its first movie as the producer. Their first project will be 'Raavu Maayumpol' to be directed by Renjith. The movie will have the mega star as the hero.

Meanwhile, Renjith and Mammootty's new movie 'Palery Maanikyam', Oru Pathiraakolapathakathinte Katha' has already completed its shoots and will reach the theatres by this November.

Kerala Cafe for an Abu Dhabi preview

The new Malayalam experimental movie 'Kerala Café' will have a premier show at the famous Middle East international film fest, that begins this Thursday. According to Renjith, its coordinating director and lead actor in one of the segments, the movie will not be a high class affair, but will be a non complicated attempt which will cater even to the average audiences of Mollywood. The movie which will run to 135 minutes will feature a lot of stars including Mammootty, Suresh Gopi, Jayaram, Prithvi, Jayasuriya, Kalabhavan Mani, Jagathy, Salimkumar, and Rahman together, with most other supporting actors of Malayalam.

The movie, though with all these stars, has not turned out to be a big budget movie as most of the stars have acted for free, in support of this new endeavor.

‘Pazhassi Raja’ asks raise in ticket price

'Pazhassi Raja' has been made with limitless grandeur and stars. Obviously, the makers of the movie are in a fix as to how to compensate the total movie's expense that mounts to nearly 25 crores.

Now it seems the producer Gokulam Gopalan has requested the Kerala Government to bring 50 percent hike in the ticket price. A practice which has been followed for such movies earlier, the Govt. will now have to grant a special order to recover the budget through the hiked tickets.

However, the State's CPM government don't seem to be happy with this demand, as the hike won't be favourable to the common people.

Well, already 'Pazhassi Raja' has been postponing its arrival, looks like this issue will further add to its delay.

Mammootty is busy even in Tamil

Mammootty is just now free out of the historical project 'Pazhassi Raja', moreover it's amazing to know that he got just 60 lakhs as remuneration for this one!

Sources close to the film had it that earlier Mammootty had intended to act as the Malayalam King Sundharapotta Veeran for free. But as the producer and the director insisted him to take the salary saying that it is not a full art film, the actor got this minimal pay. This historical action entertainer has Tamil star Sarath Kumar in one of the key roles. 'Pazhassi Raja' will be released in 4 languages including Hindi.

On the other hand, Mammootty has started a fresh round in Tamil recently. Apart form the release of 'Pazhassi Raja' in Tamil, the actor will also be seen in 'Aaruvadai'. He is also signed up for Sanjai Ram's 'Lingam', Ramesh Kanna's 'Rajamanikkam'. Sources say that the actor will be donning powerful character roles in these Tamil movies.

Mammukka rocks Tamil too…

Shah Rukh Khan introduces Mammootty in PAZHASSI RAJA, no fee taken!!

Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of bollywood who is famous for his generous
acts for friendly producers (recall Sushmita Sen starrer Vivek
Vaswani’s ‘Dulha Mill Gaya’) and directors, has
introduced southern super star Mammootty in the Hindi version of
upcoming flick ‘Pazhassi Raja’.

Shah Rukh has already dubbed the prologue gratis for the flick that will
bring Mammootty as Pazhassi Raja on the screen. Sources say that King
Khan not only did it on the request of director T Hariharan, who had
gone to meet him during a shoot in Film City, but also refused to charge
any money for his obliging act.

The buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that Shah Rukh Khan was
very impressed with the subject of the film, which is based on a freedom
fighter during the British era and so decided to forgo his remuneration
for the friendly gesture.

The grapevine has it that Shah Rukh Khan not charging any money from the
producer of the flick for his work has some emotional reason behind it.
In fact, Shah Rukh Khan’s forefathers in Delhi had fought against
the British during freedom struggle, and so he did not want to charge a
film based on that subject.

In fact, Pazhassi Raja was one of the earliest freedom fighters of
India. He had raised the banner of rebellion against the British East
India Company, when the whole Indian population was suffering in
silence. It was even before that first freedom struggle that had started
with sepoy mutiny in 1857 AD.

Though Shah Rukh Khan will be introducing Mammootty in Hindi version of
the film, veteran actor Mohanlal will take the charge for the original
Malayalam version of the upcoming flick. Similarly, Kamal Hassan, the
veteran actor producer of Tamil cinema, will do the honor for the Tamil
version

Bollywood insiders say that this good gesture on the part of Shah Rukh
Khan is an indication that they will work together in future projects.
Shah Rukh Khan has always been interested in working with brilliant
producers-directors from South, but unfortunately (except for
Priyadarshan’s‘Billu Barber’) it has not translated
in concrete work.

For instance, Shah Rukh Khan had almost agreed to work with veteran
director Shankar in the mega budget flick ‘Robot’ (which
now has Rajnikant and Aishwarya Rai), but things did not work out
perfectly for them. The buzz was that Shah Rukh wanted some changes in
the script to suit his bollywood image, but Shankar did not agree to
that and instead cast Rajnikanth in his place.

Mammootty speaks on ‘Pazhassi Raja’ – Exclusive Interview

Mammootty is no doubt one of the most adored among film stars in India. In his late fifties and already a grandpa, the mega-star of Malayalam Cinema, whose acting talent and fame has crossed all frontiers and many seas, still looks much younger than he really is and dons all kinds of roles with an ease that causes envy to many. It's no exaggeration that even youngsters admire and adore him for the physique that he has been maintaining down the years. The actor, who has been portraying roles of all hues, is all set to enthrall us with 'Pazhassi Raja', the magnum opus in which he teams up once again with Hariharan and MT Vasudevan Nair. Here's Malayalees' favourite Mammookka in a casual chat about 'Pazhassi Raja' and of course some other topics too:

*In the first place, what made you choose to do this film, or rather this character?

- To be honest, it was an actor's urge to do something significant, something worthwhile that attracted me to the role.

*You, Hariharan and MT are teaming up after a gap of two decades. How come this project happened?

- We have been planning to do something again after 'Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha', a film on the same lines. We discussed many other subjects and finally landed upon this as we felt that the story of Pazhassi Raja has much significance.

*So many stars- you, Sharath Kumar, Manoj.K.Jayan, Padmapriya, Kaniha, Suresh Krishna; so big a budget; involvement of stalwarts like Illayaraja and Resul Pookutty. What kind of a movie is 'Pazhassi Raja'- commercial or arty?

- It's a movie that has to it the commercial feel and is not at all the typical art-house film. But it's artistically done. In fact it would rate high on the artistic side.

*Could you comment on the relevance of doing such a film now?

- The story of 'Pazhassi Raja' has its relevance at all times. We need not see it as a period film or a historical movie. It's a film with a definite story-line. It's the story of a freedom fighter. The intention behind making the film is of course to make known to the people of India the story of a hero from South India. Pazhassi Raja had fought a war against the British much before the Sepoy Mutiny. That's the reason why the film is going to be released in different languages.

*Did you, on your side, make any preparations for this film or for your character?

- Not much. On the acting side, it's just like doing any other role. Only the martial arts thing makes it different. Anyway, I did do some reading and all to keep myself informed about the character.

*There are other actors too in Malayalam. How come only you are selected to play characters like Chanthu ('Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha') and 'Pazhassi Raja'?

- That's for the makers of these films to answer. As for me, it's my job to do the role that I am entrusted with. And once I am chosen to do a role, I do it with all sincerity.

*On the professional front, Mohanlal, the other super-star of Malayalam movies, is your rival and competitor. How's it on the personal level? Are you friends?

- More than friends. Our personal relationship has always been strong; and it has been growing stronger over the years.

*You look so young compared to your real age and are so fit and agile. What's the secret of it all?

-It's no secret at all. It's God's grace, that's all I can say.

*You have always been making strong, categorical statements in many social and political issues. Do you have any intentions to enter politics?

- Not at all. I am happy here, in cinema. Of course I have my political vision and my own opinions too in everything of social and political relevance. But I don't want to be actively into politics.

*You have earned so many awards and recognitions, on the national and international level. You are so popular. But it seems success has never taken to your head. How do you keep so cool? How's it that you are so humble?

- That's my nature. That's all I can say about it.
