Kottayam Nazir has shocked the audience by playing the role of Shashankan in Roshak. The audience in Roshak was waiting for a different performance of the actor who became a mime star and captivated the audience with funny roles.
The character of Shashankan was played by the actor with great skill. With characters standing in the gray area, Shashankan goes through complex mentalities in Roshak.
At no point does Shashankan resort to such drastic measures while other characters in the film indulge in heinous crimes knowingly and for their own ends. And he gets very upset when he unexpectedly has to join some such activities.
Shashankan is the only character in the film who feels guilty. Having to watch the actions of his relatives with no say, he is finally doing what he feels is right.
Shashankan, who wants to get some financial benefits, but tries to stop many people many times. But due to the nature of not being able to say anything against anyone, he is helpless and unable to do anything.
Shashankan says that his wife’s family does not like him in the beginning. From here till the end, Kottayam Nazir is full of screen presence in the film.
Shashankan is the character who is most attached to the audience and goes through the same shock as the audience at every stage of the film. He is the one who asks through the dialogue what the audience is feeling while celebrating the joy of closing Dileep’s company with stew.
Kottayam Nazir’s Shashankan will remain etched in his mind in various scenes, from being shocked to witness a murder at home, standing in fear of being caught in front of Luke Anthony, painfully telling what happened to Dileep’s skeleton, sitting in front of a burnt shed.
Naseer had shared his happiness at getting such a role in various interviews. The audience is expressing their happiness to see Kottayam Naseer in such a role through social media.
They say that Kottayam Naseer actor was late to be recognized in Malayalam cinema and he should have been given different roles earlier. Along with that, the different roles he played before Roshack are also discussed.
The role of the police in Munnariyap has now emerged in this group. Naseer gave a natural performance as an irritating police officer even though he had very little time.
He has also done negative roles earlier. Examples are Varghese in God’s Own Cleats and Srini in Bavuti’s Naam. At least in some places, there was a slight humorous inclination, but the villainy was the leading character in these characters.
Some have also pointed out that it is not so easy to play funny roles and reflect. They say that Kottayam Nazir is an actor who has handled such roles with ease. They add that Naseer is also the best mime artist Kerala has ever seen.
