Producer Suresh Kumar said that he did not laugh like the younger generation after watching ‘Romancham’. Suresh Kumar also says that today’s generation doesn’t watch Malayalam movies the way they watch Lokesh Kanakaraj’s movies. He was speaking along with director Kamal and actor Maniyanpilla Raju on the topic of ’80s Malayalam Cinema at ‘Smriti Sandhya’ organized as part of the Assembly International Book Festival.
“Vishnu Lokam, Butterfly and Aaram Tampuran are the Mohanlal films that I have done. The rush I have seen on the first day of this is terrible. People will crash. You are following Lokesh Kanakaraj, Nelson and others. Similarly, it is doubtful whether you follow Malayalam cinema.
If I go and see the thrill, I won’t find it so interesting. You’re laughing. I actually didn’t laugh when I saw that picture. I’m not saying the movie is bad. I didn’t enjoy it that much. You might enjoy it. It means that your mind set has changed.
I am an old man. Now I am confused to listen to the story. If someone comes to me now to tell me a story, I will tell my daughter that you should listen to it. I don’t know if I’m judging wrong. That’s why a change is needed. Famous directors like Lokesh are also here.
Tamil cinema has a huge audience here. After watching the movie ‘Leo’, I felt nothing. In the climactic fight, one person kills 200 people. Are there people who are superhuman like that? But after seeing the applause, I realized that everyone likes that. I said that none of us can digest it. There is a generational difference between us.” – said Suresh Kumar.
