Mohanlal’s terrific act without glycerine leaves director speechless

Mohanlal is one of the world’s best actors and he has proved that time and again over the past three decades. Directors, technicians, co-stars and even the spot assistants will have one story or the other to share about Mohanlal.

Veteran filmmaker Thampi Kannanthanam, in a recent interview shared some of his experiences working with Mohanlal. The director worked with Mohanlal seven times out of the 16 films he directed.

In the interview, Thampi Kannanthanam recollected an incident that happened during the shoot of one of his films Chukkan. They were shooting a very important scene featuring Mohanlal and NN Pillai. It was an emotional one in which Mohanlal had to cry after NN Pillai’s dialogues.

The director insisted that Mohanlal should try crying without using glycerine as he wanted it to be very authentic and touching. Mohanlal cried in that scene without glycerine and his performance left the director dumbstruck. He also shared another similar incident that happened during the shoot of Maanthrikam. The director had instructed the fight master that Mohanlal’s punches should not be with hands but leg kicks. And that fight scene in Maanthrikam is famous even today.

Thampi Kannanthanam’s Rajavinte Makan, released in 1986 was the movie that propelled Mohanlal to the position of a superstar. His character Vincent Gomez is regarded as one his most iconic roles of all time. The movie went on to be remade in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada with leading actors but none of them could even come close to Mohanlal.

While the movie’s announcement grabbed the headlines all across the nation, Hindu Aikya Vedi chairperson KP Sasikala has threatened to stall it’s release. Aaccording to her, Randamoozham is a novel that twisted the real epic Mahabharatha and hence the movie adaptation of the novel should not be titled as The Mahabharata.

PK Sasikala affirms that Mahabaratha is related to religion and hence a novel that distorted the history and religion will not be allowed to release with this title. She has said that the movie should also be named as Randamoozham like how other novel adaptations like Chemeen and Odayil Ninnu were named.

MT Vasudevan Nair’s Randamoozham is based on the Indian epic Mahabharatha, but told from the perspective of Bheemasenan. Mohanlal has been roped in to play the central character of Bheeman in the film. Leading actors and technicians from Indian cinema and across the world will be part of this epic movie.
