Ranjith says that Mohanlal is an actor who does not care about language in films. Mohanlal’s language has his rhythm. Mohanlal gets the meter I write. Ranjith also clarified that Mammootty is an actor who tries to surprise us.
From director Ranjith’s interview with The New Indian Express
Mohanlal starrer Thuwanathumbilam is our favorite. Its Thrissur language is Bor. Mohanlal and Pappetan have not tried to correct it. An attempt was made to imitate the language. The people of Thrissur are not the ones who say, “Let us drink some lemonade,” not that they should say anything in Thrissur slang, obviously. The same Jayakrishnan speaks to Clara in Pappetta’s own literature. But Mohanlal’s language has a rhythm of his own. He is a convincing actor. Didn’t Mohanlal prove it as a failed bus service character, an underworld hero and a Gurkha? Ranji Panicker used to say that Lal would get the meter I write. Mohanlal likes to stay in his comfort zone. He is the guy who hits a hundred people on camera. Still Lal is hesitant to come in front of the crowd. Lal be comforted by those close to you. Not changed now. I have known Lal for many years. He is such a man.
But Mammootty is also careful about language. Asking and understanding. Mammootty is a star who tries to surprise us. Director Ranjith clarifies that Mammootty likes people.
