Mohanlal & Mammooty's die hard fans will hate to read the following....So much hype & hysteria...This is not about character assassination but speaking my mind.
They may be good guys but this is covering their professional aspect, not personal.
Why don't these actors get fit for the roles they're about to embark on?
Mohanlal's latest movie 'Casanova' is a joke, his appearance is totally wrong. They're highly paid, considering their profession to look the part too. They shouldn't be allowed to carry on in this physical state...so no excuse.
Casanova were played by David Tennant & (Late) Heath Ledger, check them out in their film.
Mammooty managed to keep his figure considering his age but his face has started to show wear and tear. Stop kidding us with roles fit for younger models. Pot/Beer Belly is not a physical form expected for the part or attractive.
Give youngsters the part...'Sell by Date' has been long gone for the above named actors.
I wasn't sure about Prithviraj earlier but he's been delivering his parts well and impressive too. Only time will tell, let's wait and see. I think, things may have gone to his head a bit since acting with Aishwarya Rai and so on.
I'm not against older actors playing younger roles if it's convincing but there are limitation and they've certainly overstayed their time (Move on please) Father/uncle/grandad roles are plenty...Not sure, who to blame... The film makers or the audience for this nonsense??? :(We've been fooled for too long.
Are the audience happy with it or just settling for 2nd best?
I've stopped watching Malayalam movies years ago, prefer to read. At least my imagination won't make me cringe as these movies do and have been for years.
These film makers need to be kicked up their rear end. Producing so much rubbish in the mass. Quality please not Quantity. Take pride in your field of work. I'm not fan of anyone, only their talent. No time to watch movies, love to listen to songs instead 24/7.
There are plenty of talents amongst ordinary citizens in Kerala but the sad fact is, that none in the film industries are willing to give them an opportunity to shine. I'm so grateful for the recent explosion of new talent shows, allowing the general public an exposure they needed. Not just nationally but internationally too, otherwise not.
I can't believe there aren't anyone good enough to play these roles apart from the above actors? Mohanlal and Mammooty were good until few years ago but as i stated earlier, they are not suitable to play younger roles as before. It's embarassing to see them like this....Actors should 'fit' into the 'characters' they're 'portraying' not look like 'themselves'...as it's been happening for too longggg...
Hollywood/British actors do their research before attempting to play the role. At times, they live, feel, breathe and even lose/gain weight, shave their head, beaten and bruised to fit the part.
Acting is not all about portraying glamour, fame, heroes & the rich, it's about victims, poverty and other issues too. I also know it's about commercialising, profits, also about politics in the industry and many cannot compete with them.
The money the film industry pay for these actors are way beyond what they deserve. The standards are below average. Quality is non-existent as they are compelled to producing too many films too frequently.
The directors and editors should concentrate on better productions.. No more cheezy or pathetic, unwarranted and unnecessary dialogues or scripts to bail them out when it fails to deliver via Jegathy, Jegadeesh or other comedians.
Producers should not invest in bad films. Only reward the team, if it's a success.
Suraj Venjaramoodu is doing very well... but for how long? Hope he won't follow in the same footsteps as Jegathy Sreekumar. No variation in his role, it has become stagnant and boring.
'NO ONE IS INDISPENSABLE'...Talent alone cannot sustain one's place anywhere, especially public figures. You need to win over the love & affection of the fans. Without fans, these celebrities are nothing...they can make you or break you.
I always say...'Fame Comes With A Price, It's Freedom You Sacrifice'. So don't complain, when fans are on your case. You become a public property and won't have much of a choice. It's sad but it comes as a package. So get real and deal with it.
Good Luck & eagerly awaiting New Talents. :)

Jaya, I disagree about what you wrote about Mr. Mohanlal and Mr. Mammooty. It's only overdue by ten years or so. These guys were great in the 80's,& 90's. Like you mentioned don't blame them for it, blame the audience.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. But their fans still like to see them as young heroes!
