Shine Tom Chacko is well known to Malayalis. He is also active on social media. He is now saying that he started speaking like that to make the interviews go viral like marketing the movie. Really, his character is not like that. But the actor clarified in an interview given to Mathrubhumi that he came to such a performance to watch the movie. When I started giving interviews, it was not reaching many people. And when it became interesting, people started watching. Every interview is done to reach people quickly. Shine says that he started talking like that because he felt that the interview would only be done as entertainment.
Another is that interviews are given to market the film. It should be fun to bring it to people. People started watching when I made the interview interesting. In the past, what we used to call the on-arrival interview was simply to answer the questions asked. Later, when it was made into a conversation, people started getting interested. I deliberately added some spice. People get bored when they sit and talk in such a disciplined manner while giving so many interviews. That’s why you made a change.
And the kids who come for the interview are also meant to be like a chit chat show. And not face to face. Many people who see me now watch interviews. That said, it’s good fun. With this, I told them that they should watch films in between, not just interviews. When I was assistant director with Kamal sir, I thought I would get a role in his film. After nine years, Aashiq started filming. Dadi Kool stayed away due to the pre-production of the film. After all these years, I felt that I was not going to get any chance in the film. At that time, he grew his hair and walked like a rebel. That’s when I got a chance to do Kamal sir’s movie Khaddama. It’s just because of hair growth. After that I was waiting for Kamal sir’s next movie thinking that he would get a good role in it. That’s when Sir became the Chairman of the Film Academy. Sir I didn’t do any films while I continued to act in films. Corona also came in between. I told you to take pictures when I meet sir.
