Saiju Kurup is a well-known actor to the Malayalees. The actor is sharing some interesting memories in Flowers Orukodi. Saiju got a chance to film through MG Sreekumar. He introduced Saiju to Hariharan. Many auditions were done for the film. Saiju was given a dialogue by Hariharan and Shaji N Karun from the movie itself. While shooting that scene, the dialogue went wrong again. I asked Harisar if he could change that dialogue. Hearing this, Hariharan sir and Shaji N Karun sir laughed at each other. I thought they both laughed because they liked my speech. I understand that he has great patience. I didn’t know much about him. So it was not possible to realize how big a director he is.
At last the audition of that day was over. After this I went straight to Thiruvananthapuram. There is no further information about him. First called and asked to get the teeth fixed, then Shaji N asked to see Karun sir. So I waited for his phone call. But did not call again. At that time, my mother told my uncle that Hariharan had gone to audition for the film. “Uncle was also shocked when he heard this. That’s when I realized that Hariharan is a great director. From the next moment Hari was calling sir. It is known that he is busy. Finally got him and talked to him. So we talked about the movie.” But after the audition that day, Hariharan and Shaji N Karun came to the decision that Saiju could not act in the film. Both of them did not like the difficulty shown in speaking the dialogue and some other difficulties. So Saiju ended the conversation by saying that he had no chance. Saiju Kurup thought his movie dream was over. But after two days he called Hariharan again and begged. Saiju also assured Hariharan that he will work in that film and speak the dialogues correctly. That’s how magic works.
