LaLin’s sense of humor is tremendous. MA TP Balagopalan movie shooting time. The release of my previous film Gayatri Devi My Mother was delayed due to various hurdles. I am sitting on the set of TP Balagopalan because of its tension. Lal came to me and said, ‘Don’t get tensed, Satyetta, if the film 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 reaches the set, it will become a celebration. It will ease the director’s tension with ease. For example Lal has to leave at four o’clock but the blow is not over. Even at 3.45 he plays and laughs without any of that tension. It is not ready to make the director stressed. But if a number of other actors want to leave at 4 o’clock, they will emphasize the director by saying this at noon.

Similarly, when Lal Thyagarajan fights with the master, Lal seems to be a better action choreographer than acting. Mohanlal is treated as 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 collaborating 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 distinction. Lal, who does not sing, will sing asalai. That is all the talent that Lal has rooted in him. Lal is not one to be carried away by too much success or acclaim. Many compliments are received with a small smile. Big failures do not discourage Lal Happy Birthday to my dear friend.
