Dubai ∙ Actor Biju Menon says that when he has to play police roles continuously, he tries hard to make them different. In many movies, the dialogues and names are repetitive and it gets boring. However, Biju Menon said that because his father was a policeman and he grew up in a police camp, Tundile Baby was well accommodated. He was talking to Manorama Online in Dubai regarding the promotion of Thund, a Malayalam film directed by debutant director Riyaz Sharif.
Although Tund is not a police story, the theme is a policeman named Baby who has to write an exam and uses Tund to pass it and the resulting crisis. In my second film, I played the role of a policeman. In his career, he played the role of a policeman most times. Most of these were police related to the investigation. Only in films like Anuraga Karikinvellam, Allatulla has played the role of a police officer. The character in the piece also tells the dilemmas faced by a policeman in a humorous way. Biju Menon said that everyone is experiencing the freedom of digital cinema. Modern technology is very helpful in making short film or feature film. It can only be seen as a positive thing. Because a lot of people get jobs in movies. Films that audiences want to see achieve theatrical success. Anything else is failure. If you understand why, you can make every movie a success.
Director Riyaz Sharif said that Tund is a family fun film. The film has events that will appeal to the family audience and the new generation. A very simple movie could have been enjoyed for two hours. Riaz Sharif, who earlier worked as Jamshi Khalid’s assistant in cinematography, said that after such a resolution came to his mind, he entered into the script after doing a lot of research and study.
Director and actor Rafi said that he wants to be a part of good films even if it is a small role. Tundil plays Bijumenon’s good-natured colleague who gives advice to Baby. It is advised to use the swab for the exam in case the baby somehow escapes. But it puts his life in crisis.
Producer Ashiq Usman said that Tund’s is a different story. A story like this has never been made into a movie. All films are made with the hope of success. If one fails, the next one is expected to succeed. He said that the name Tund was given because it suited the story. Actor Gokulan said that he played the role of a policeman who supports Bijumenon.
Reviewers should think about one thing
Biju Menon said that one should think whether a review of a film is harmful. Perhaps, the economic benefit that would have accrued at the beginning may be wiped out by the review. It may be because of the stress of the failure of the film that the director tries to put the failure of the film on the head of the audience.
Rafi said that there have been reviews since the movie started. In the past, it came out through print media. But not everyone was able to express their opinion in the past. Today, with the advent of social media, anyone can freely express their opinion. It will also increase. Uncontrollable. He said that naturally a bad review affects a film but that alone does not mean that the film will fail.
Any character with acting potential will be taken up
Biju Menon says that he is ready to play any character that has potential. It doesn’t matter the age of the character. The success of Vyodhikan’s character in Aar Kahada, which won him the State Award for Best Actor, gave people the confidence to approach me with such roles. He said that now many people are thinking of playing more mature roles. The piece will be released on the 16th of this month, including in the Gulf. Apart from Bijumenon, Rafi and Gokulan, Shine Tom Chacko, Unnimaya, Shaju and Naushad Ali are also playing the role. The screenplay is written by Riaz Sheriff and Kannapan. Music – Vishnu Vijay.
