Actor/director Padma Kumar, who had won the state award for his film My Life Partner this year had posted a photo on his Facebook timeline yesterday. It was a photo which shows he is touching the feet of superstar Mohanlal as he was seeking the blessings from the legend before he was receiving the state award from the honorable Chief Minister of Kerala. He said that he touching the feet of not just an actor but the future history of Malayalam cinema. That photo and his words were went viral in social media but some people had commented bad words about Mohanlal below that photo shared by Padma Kumar. Today, he had come with a perfect and open reply to those Mohanlal haters.
Padma Kumar said that he had posted many photos and statuses in his Facebook timeline before as well. But never got such an attention, likes, comments and shares for those ones. But the photo he posted yesterday with Mohanlal was really went viral in all sense and that was not his power, but the magic of Mohanlal’s charisma and impact among malayalees. He said that he did not know Mohanlal personally. But like many of us he was influenced by the charismatic personality and amazing talent of this artist more than anyone.
He said that when he got the chance to act with Mohanlal in M.Padma Kumar directorial film Shikkar, he was really felt the fear to share screen space with Mohanlal as he doubted whether he can even stand with the legend who lives in front of the camera as the character. So he decided to quit from that film. That much is his admiration for Mohanlal.
He says that haters can say anything but Mohanlal is bigger than or above all that criticisms. He is like an epic in Indian Cinema and the criticism by these critics cannot have any value in front of such a great personality. He said that no one in Kerala will want to lend their ears to such criticisms on Mohanlal ever as they love this man as a great person and great artists more than anyone here.
Padma Kumar says that he touched the feet Mohanlal only because he can never dream of seeing the top of this artist who is bigger than anything in this world with his talent and he can only see the roots of this living legend. He ended his replay by saying that Mohanlal will be the future history of Malayalam cinema which can be proudly presented before the whole world and his attempt to touch the feet and seek the blessing of this man is just an effort to make a dream into reality as he saw the people’s uncontrollable craze towards him which no other actor here can even think of.
