Mohanlal: If Sreenivasan and I team up again, we want the movie to be really good...

Mohanlal and Sreenivasan have been the dream duo in the 80s! The two have teamed up for several hits including Nadodikaattu, Sanmanassulavarkku Samadhaanam and Varavelpu.
Recently, director Sathyan Anthikad had said that the he is planning to helm a movie with Mohanlal and Sreenivasan based on the latter's script. Ask Mohanlal how the project is developing and he says, "There is no story yet. If a movie materialises, let it happen. When we come together, we want it to be entertaining for our audience. Now people expect a lot and unless you are confident of doing a really good film, I think we should never attempt it."

Ask him if the weight of expectations of their previous hits has been a reason why the duo have only acted in few films of late and he says, "You should never say that our films should be like the ones we had done earlier. There is no scope for such subjects now. It's been 30 years since Sanmanassullavarkku Samadhanam released. Back then, there were a lot of problems about tenants not vacating houses. So, it was easier to relate to. Films of that era had subjects that touched social life. Cinema has changed and people now want fast-paced movies

Mohanlal's next release is Jibu Jacob's Munthirivallikal Thallirkumbol, which is directed by Jibu Jacob and has him teaming up with Meena.

Aswathi Menon returns to M’wood with Role Models...

Remember the amber eyed Aswathi Menon, in the film Satyam Sivam Sundaram?
The bubbly actress, who debuted in the movie, was away from big screen for a while. And now, she is all set to make a comeback with the Fahadh-starrer Role Models, directed by Rafi.

Aswathi says she is excited that her second innings will also be helmed by Rafi, who launched her as an actress. "Though I was initially nervous to be back on the sets, my faith in Rafi ikka restored my confidence. It is a terrific opportunity to return to films, that too in one, which has Fahadh Faasil in the lead role," she says.
On her role, she says, "I play Lucy, who is from Goa. Though it's a small role, it is pivotal to the plot. I am hopeful that my acting would be noticed and it will leave a mark."

Ask Ashwathi how she landed the part and she says, "As soon as I landed in India, I happened to talk to Rafi ikka. He casually asked me to come to Goa, and I was thinking it would be a good vacation for me. After a while, he asked me to send a few snaps of mine, which I did. Soon, I got a call from him, asking me to pack the bags and get on-board to Goa for a shoot!"
So, what kept her busy these years? The actress says that back then, the roles that were coming her way were not exciting. "Also, my family moved to Dubai. And, I embarked on a new trail as a marketing manager in a firm. Though I was not part of films, I was doing theatre productions and that kept me busy and connected with the art world."
Before signing off, she says that it was her family's constant support that brought her back to films. "My husband always tells me to follow my passion and pursue things I love to do. I am happy that I started acting again."

Prithviraj was always interested to direction: Mohanlal...

Mohanlal and Prithviraj are set to team up in a highly-anticipated project titled Lucifer, which is scripted by Murali Gopy. We recently caught up with Mohanlal to ask him if he has had any directorial ambitions like Prithviraj who will be making his debut as a filmmaker with the movie.
"It's a different field altogether. I can chumma direct but that won't do justice to a movie," says Mohanlal. "If you look at an actor like Prithviraj, he's someone who was interested in direction from the start. He watches and studies movies for that purpose. For that, I have to find time. I have to stop acting and write a script; but all of that is a huge task."

The actor says that he was never keen to take up direction and acting has always been the focus. "If I get a good story, a good cameraman and associate director, I can direct but that's not doing justice to the art. And I haven't thought about direction at all," he says
