Bijumenon is the favorite actor of Malayalees. He was once very active in the cinema. Biju Menon is an actor who has been a part of many hit combos since the beginning. Biju Menon has acted in several films with Suresh Gopi. Whenever the duo came on screen together, the audience welcomed them with open arms. Most of the action films starring Suresh Gopi had Biju Menon as the second hero. Kaliyattam, Highway, Patram, Chintamani murder case, Millennium Stars, FIR… Now Biju Menon is sharing about his arrival to Garudan and his experience of acting again with Suresh Gopi. He was speaking in an interview given to Mathrubhumi.
Biju Menon says that Garuda is a different character in his career. The story is heard from director Arun Verma. After hearing the whole thing, I liked the role of teacher Nishant. I was saying that I would do the role if no one else said to give it to me. Looking at it like that, Garuda’s role is questionable. Biju Menon said that the director was hesitant to ask him if he could do that role. After Christian Brothers, Garudaan is the film where Sureshetan and I will be working together. Even though we don’t do films together and don’t see each other regularly, there is no shortage of friendship between us. Sureshetan has made a lot of compromises for this film. The shooting of Garuda was delayed when the shooting of some of my other films took longer than expected. Sureshetan was waiting for me all that time.
At the same time, he was patient even when my date changed. Although Suresh Gopi has acted as one of his team many times in films, this is the first time that he is playing an antagonistic role opposite him. Biju Menon said in an interview that the match with Sureshetan has helped to make the scenes beautiful. Interested in collaborating with characters that are innovative in any way. It was in the time of covid that I played the role of someone who knows the age, many people asked me why I am playing such a role now, the happiness I got while doing it, that is what I looked at at that time. Not only what is done, but also what is to be done is relevant.
