Mammootty congratulated me after hearing the news : Alencier Ley Lopez

Alencier Ley Lopez  recently staged an unique protest in the Kasargod bus stand to mark the recent attack of the BJP and other right-wing organizations on popular Mollywood filmmaker Kamal. He sang poems with the theme of a man carrying a sack bag to reach America by bus. The actor was seen wearing a US flag around his waist and singing the love for underwear is not patriotism.

His protest grabbed all the eyeballs as the video went viral in social media. Many celebrities and netizens praised the actor for boldly stepping forward and address such a sensitive issue, when many prominent stars maintained silence over the issue.

In a recent interview, he said that Megastar Mammootty congratulated him for staging the protest. Director Lal Jose also called and appreciated him.

Alencier Ley said that actors need not respond for every issue but it will dangerous if they always confine themselves to their comfort zone and keep silence.

He added, “As an actor, my medium of expression is acting. I have been seeing the changes happening in our country for sometime now and I find hidden fascism everywhere. When I heard the comment passed by the leaders of BJP against Kamal, I felt that it’s time to react. Nobody has the right to take away someone’s human rights and the freedom of expression in the name of any religion or region. It’s also a indication that we are moving towards an autocratic governance. I held my protest in the main bus stand of Kasaragod, where the Centre loyalists are strong.”

BJP State general secretary AN Radhakrishnan made a controversial statement against director Kamal asking him to move out of the country if he cannot accept the rules in India. The statement was made with regard to director Kamal’s response to police entering cinema halls to arrest delegates during the IFFK for not standing up while the national anthem was played.

Dulquer Salmaan and Nivin Pauly influenced the award committee?

In a shocking revelation, veteran Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor, whose biography Khullam Khulla will release soon, mentioned during an interview that he had bought the Film Fare Best Actor award way back in 1973. Many actors in the past have been accused of influencing the jury members for their favour but not many have admitted it in open.

Sajin Baabu, an independent filmmaker from Mollywood updated a post in his official Facebook account sharing the link for Rishi Kapoor’s news and adding a title, “years down the lane, will Dulquer Salmaan and Nivin Pauly admit something like this?”

Every year when the State awards are announced, controversies are bound to happen over their selection. Nivin Pauly won the best actor award in 2014 while Dulquer Salmaan won the award next year. The former won the award for his performance in I983 and Bangalore Days. The jury members faced a lot of backlash for their selection that year. Similar was the situation next year when Dulquer won the award for his performance in Charlie.

But we don’t believe that these youngsters have influenced the committe in many manner. Plainly because both these performances were worthy of the awards. Nivin Pauly’s Rameshan in 1983 was a journey of a man from his teenage to his 40s. The actor gave his career best performance in the movie. His performance as the naïve and innocent Kuttan in Bangalore Days was also appreciated unanimously.

Charlie was a very complex character to enact. There were lot of hidden emotions in the movie and Dulquer fitted the bill perfectly.

Any award is a motivation for the actors to strive hard and get better. It is a result of their hard work and perseverance. So, it is praiseworthy for the youngsters to bag the State Award so early in their career.

It will be a multilingual project in all 4 south Indian languages- Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. Prithviraj Sukumaran has been roped in from Malayalam. Recently he opened about the project. He said, “I have been paid the advance and I’m already on board. The project requires lead actors from four southern industries. So it is difficult for getting the call sheet of all four actors on the same rime. Hence, it’s taking time to materialise.”

The director is reportedly in talks with Simbu from Tamil, Puneeth Rajkumar from Kannada and Sai Dharam Tej from Telugu. According to reports, the film revolves around the lives of four friends who meet at a wedding after many years and decide to take a fun trip. Like most Gautham Menon movies, most part of the movie will be shot in the US.

He will be soon joining the last schedule of Tiyaan directed by Jiyen Krishnakumar. Some other projects in the pipeline are Pradeep M Nair’s Vimaanam, Jinu Abraham’s Adam, the magnum opus Karnan etc.

Superstar Mohanlal has won the Manorma News Maker Award for the year 2016. The award is given every year to a person from Kerala who has been there in the headlines throughout the year and inspired a positive change in the society.

Popular writer M Mukundan announced the award for Mohanlal. The writer while announcing the award said, “Mohanlal is an actor who can influence the masses. He is able to update himself with the changing technologies.”

Mohanlal said he was proud to receive the award. He added that, he sees this is as a reward for his 38-year long career as an actor. Mohanlal also said that all his answers during the Newsmaker conversation was true and that he believes that the viewers could understand it.

Mohanlal was in the news continuously last year. He created history in Mollywood through the action packed entertainer Pulimurugan. The movie became the first ever Malayalam movie to enter the prestigious 100 crore club. His Telugu movie Janatha Garage, where he teamed up with Jr NTR was also a 100 crore grosser.

Apart from the success in his acting career, Mohanlal also hogged the headlines for his controversial blog supporting the demonetisation move by the Indian government. The actor’s blog was received with mixed response as many people supported his views while others criticised him for making a comparison about people standing in queues in liquor shops and theatres to those who stand before ATMs to withdraw money.

We feel that Mohanlal is the perfect choice for the News maker of the year award as he singlehandedly took the Malayalam film industry to new heights that seemed improbable for a Malayalam movie.
