When Lal Thyagarajan fights with the master, it seems that Lal is a better action choreographer than acting.
LaLin’s sense of humor is immense. Shooting time of TP Balagopalan MA movie. The release of my previous film Gayatri Devi My Mother was delayed due to various hurdles. I sit on the TP Balagopalan set because of its tension. Lal came to me and said, ‘Don’t get tensed, Satyetta, if the movie Gayatri Devi My Mother is delayed, we can release it as Gayatri Devi My Mother after some time’. When I heard that, I laughed without realizing it.
If Lal arrives on the set, it will become a celebration. He will ease the director’s tension with ease. For example Lal has to leave at four o’clock but the shot is not over. Even at 3.45 he is playing and laughing without any of that tension. He is not ready to make the director tense. But if many other actors want to leave at 4 o’clock, they will stress the director by saying this at noon.
Similarly, when Lal Thyagarajan fights with the master, it seems that Lal is a better action choreographer than acting. Mohanlal is treated like Thyagarajan’s favorite disciple. There is a conflict scene in the movie Varavelp. On that day, Thyagarajan Mash is a very busy time. Masha said when I called ‘Lal is there, he will do it. I will release the two fighters’.
So Mohanlal did the action choreography in Varavelp. Thyagarajan also put the master’s name in the title. After working together in a film with Lal, Lal will become a part of our hearts. I can’t wait to play Lal. Acting is a gift given to Lal by Eswaran. Watching Lal act makes us feel that acting is the most effortless job in the world. It feels like we can pretend to be Easy.
But when you see the acting of other actors, you will understand the difficulty. Acting was ingrained in Lal’s blood, not learned from anywhere. Lal’s acting is effortless. Lal, who did not study dance, performed classical dance in Kamaladalam, and Lal, who did not know Kathakali, performed Kathakali in Vanaprastha with excellence. Lal, who does not sing, will sing asalai. That’s all the talent that Lal has ingrained in him. Lal is not one to get carried away by excessive success or accolades. A lot of praise is received with a small smile. Big failures do not discourage Lal. Happy birthday to my dear friend.
