The controversy over the issue between AMMA and veteran actor Thilakan took a new turn with superstar Mohanlal crossing swords with great orator and critic Sukumar Azhikode.
On Tuesday Azhikode claimed that Mohanlal had welcomed his mediation to end the row. He said, Mohanlal had called him from Dubai and requested his mediation to end the stalemate. But in the evening Mohanlal denied it. He said, it was a hallucination of the aged man, Azhikode.
In reply, Azhikode accused superstars of ruining the film industry by accepting high remuneration and not giving chance to newcomers and talented actors like Thilakan. Speaking to reporters in Thrissur, Azhikode said he had also called Thilakan and both sides had accepted his offer to mediate and bring them around a table.
Mohanlal dubbed Azhikode’s remarks as a joke by an elderly man and he knows little about the industry and there was no point in talking to him.
Meantime writer T. Padmanabhan criticised Azhikode saying he was crippled with inferiority complex and hence jealous at handsome actors like Mohanlal and Mammootty.
Director Satyan Anthikkad and actor Mamukoya also opposed Azhikode’s intervention.
Azhikode had lashed out at Mohanlal and said his love scenes in movies with sweet seventeen girls had become unpalatable. He advised Lal to stop acting in romantic scenes.
“It is the viewers who decide when an actor should stop his work. As part of the job actors should have to wear costumes and make up. We are not caring why Sukumar Azhikode apply die on his hair.”, Mohanlal said to media persons at the sets of his film `Oru Naal Varum’ in Thiruvanathapuram on Wednesday.
“Nobody will remember a person with the reason that he had written 40 books. It is the quality of good soul that keeps the fellow in mind. Azhikode does not own it.” Lal added.
In reply to the statement of Mohanlal, Azhikode said, ”Mohanlal is repeating the silly allegations against me. Because he is perplexed with the fear of degrading youth. He thinks that he is the King of the film world. Histrionics doesn’t only mean to present good characters, the heart should also be filled with goodness.” Azhikode was speaking to press persons at Payyannur
