Anoop Menon-Jayasurya was a team that had done consecutive films at one time. Films like Beautiful and Trivandrum Lodge, in which Jayasuriya played the lead role in Anoop Menon’s screenplay, gained a lot of attention from the audience. But after that, a film with both of them did not happen.
Anoop Menon recently said that Beautiful 2 will be made soon and Jayasuriya will not be in it. Anoop Menon is telling the reason behind the separation of the two. Anup Menon said in an interview to Cannes Channel Media that it was a decision taken by both of them.
Jayasurya and I became friends through Vinayan sir’s wild copper. Our friendship is still strong. I used to shoot more films in Jayan. Beautiful, Trivandrum Lodge, California, David and Goliath were all films we did together.
At that time, Ranjeetan told me that you are also an actor. A screenwriter can do a maximum of one or two films in a year. The maximum scripts I could do in the last nine years were sometimes around 10. But now in that time I have acted in about 100 films.
We made that one decision together. After that, Jayan got to be a part of good movies like Vaali and Captain. On the other hand, I also got to do films like Paavada and Vikramadityan. If we had stayed together at that time, we both would have left like that. After doing the same kind of films, we would end up hating each other after a while.
It was a good decision. Jay also had a career change and I also had a career change. That’s what we decided after the movie Califonia.
After that, I acted with Jayan in a small role in Priyaten Aama Um Muyalum. Our decision was right,’ says Anoop Menon.
