An interview with Kalabhavan Mani
You have completed nearly 100 pictures. How do you feel?
Great and happy.
I owe my gratitude to director Ambili who has given me the first chance in his Samudaayam, Sallapam and made me really an artist known among people. I owe it to Mr Lohithadas, Mr Sunder das and Producer Mr Unni.
The actor in you is highly becoming successful. How far you have distanced yourself away from a mimicry artist?
Practically nil. I am still the old mimicry artist. I don�t have the pretensions of a matinee man. I have my humble life. I have my acting as a profession. And the old mimicry is still with me.
What kinds of roles do you like most?
Comedy roles, of course!
But you did a couple of villain roles in �Vallyettan� and �Saphalyam�, which were excellent! Didn�t you?
Yes, that were so, I was told by many. It was Mr Ranjith the scriptwriter who recommended me to the villain role in Vallyettan. And it was the performance in that film which fetched me a character in the Tamil film �Vanchinathan� directed by Shaaji Kailas.
Which of the roles did you like most?
Those ones in Sallapam, Udyanapalakan, Dilliwala Rajakumaran.
Not those in Vasanthiyum�, and Karumadikkuttan!
Definitely. The other ones are small roles that made me what I am now. I am emotionally attached to them. In fact I price those tiny roles most.
Does that mean that you don�t prefer Hero roles?
It means that I will do them only when I get really good characters and good stories. I know my limitations well. My person, my voice and all that will not suit me when it comes to acting in an executive�s role. I am aware of it.
Who is a good actor by your standards?
A lot of factors constitute a good actor.
Can you name one such actor in Malayalam?
We are lucky. Nearly everyone is good.
So there are some who are not--? Right?
Yes, for example me. I am not a perfect actor.
