Shweta Menon is an actor who has won the favor of the audience. Here is what the actor says about his first movie, Shweta acted for the first time in the movie Anaswaram which was released in 1991.
The actor is speaking in an interview given to Kaumudi Movies. ‘When I acted with Mammooka for the first time, it was only three months after the age of sixteen. I had no further thoughts about acting with him. It was just child’s play then. The family doctor examined me and said that I should act in such a film. I said ok.
As far as I was concerned, getting pocket money was the only requirement that day. Mammooka would give me five star chocolate before speaking every dialogue. That was all that mattered to me. I have no desire to act with Mammootty and Mohanlal. If I act in that film, I will get fifty thousand rupees as pocket money. At that time, I was thinking what to do after leaving it. But when Paleri acted with Mammootty again in Manikyam, that was not what I thought. I have grown up a bit, seen a lot of the world, I can say that I have become a professional.
While I was serious about Paleri Manikyam, Mammooka was child’s play. Mammooka was serious in the first movie, funny to me. Now that Mammooka is cool, I’m serious. There is nothing more to say when acting with someone like him. There is a scene in that film where my character looks at Mammooka’s character and spits. Even after doing that, I didn’t get any spit. There was only action. Would anyone feel like spitting on Mammooka’s face’, you don’t have to think about it when you told him this. Isn’t your character doing that? Told to do without looking at anything. But no matter how I look at it, I’m not salivating, the actress suggests that she asked back what to do next. If we talk about the experience of acting with Laleton, first the song ‘Aalare Govinda’ was on the scene. I have known Laleton since my school days. He and my family are related. I know him even before I came to the cinema.
