Actor Salim Kumar has said that changing Ramesh Chennithala and Oommen Chandy is not the solution to the problems in the Congress but generational change is inevitable in any field. Salim Kumar’s stand in an exclusive interview with Manorama News on the 25th anniversary of his film career. Salim Kumar said that he is not obsessed with the comforts of cinema and that he will never be in active politics.
Salim Kumar has never seen his first film Ishtaman Nooruvattam. Salim Kumar still says that he hated seeing his face on the screen for dubbing the movie. Despite working in cinema for twenty-five years, he has never sought the salary of another actor. The film was produced and directed without any financial loss. Not to be outdone by the comforts of film. He added that there was excitement only until he received the national award.
He has always been outspoken in his political stance. Replacing Ramesh Chennithala and Oommen Chandy is not the solution to the problems of the Congress. Legends like Mammootty and Mohanlal will survive. But generational change is essential in all areas, said Salim Kumar.
‘I could have competed this year if I wanted to. Not interested in active politics. For the time being, Kerala does not need actor Salim Kumar to become an MLA. I am better known now than an MLA, ”says Salim Kumar.
