Sharjah | Director and writer Prajeshsen said that the world should know the life of Ashraf Thamarassery, who is on a different path in the field of philanthropy, and wants to make it into a movie. He also said that he has thoughts of making a film beyond what he read in the book. Prajesh Sen was talking face to face with actor Jayasuriya after launching Ashraf Thamarassery’s English book The Last Friend at the Sharjah International Book Fair.
Responding to a question from the audience, Prajeshsen said that media work has benefited him a lot in his film career. In ten years of working in the media, I got to know and interact with everyone from big celebrities to ordinary people. Being able to touch different types of lives and people helped in the creation of movie characters. Nambinaran was the villain of the story he heard during his school days. His innocence was proved when he later became a journalist. Journalists were reluctant to portray him as a criminal and portray him as innocent. In this regard, journalists should be told that no matter how trustworthy a person is, if they are given any information, they should not report it like that and use common sense to investigate its status.
Nambi Narayanan was accused of stealing a non-existent technology. This is a big mistake of media workers. The case is that rocket technology was sold to Pakistan. A case was made that Nambi Narayanan secretly sold the technology that France was selling for 100 crores to the neighboring country for 400 crores. The media workers of that time were not ready to even think about the logic in this. Prajesh Sen said if such news had been considered, the lives of many people could have been changed.
Malayalees take movies seriously: Jayasurya
Sharjah | Actor Jayasuriya said that the Malayalee community is serious about movies whether it is a comedy or a story. Malayali audience cannot be fooled by showing something in the movie. Exaggerated heroes or villains like those seen in other language films are not accepted in Malayalam.
The Malayalam audience evaluates the plot, camera and editing of each movie. Jayasuriya said that this is unique to Malayalam and for this reason most of the Malayalam films are meticulous in their making. He was interacting with moviegoers at the Sharjah International Book Festival.
