“As a director, what I expect from artists is what I try to give them when I work with another director. “.-Says director Johnny Antony, who shines as an actor
Hit director Johnny Antony is shining as an actor with different characters and different expressions. He shared with Keralakaumudi about his latest films.
Now the director of many hit films
When he became an actor in hit movies?
As a director, what I expect from artists is what I try to give them when I work with another director. It is given sincerely. Some will come to listen to the script. I give them my suggestions. Almost 90 percent of the directors we worked with were good. That’s why most of the films he acted in were able to play good roles.
Let’s say that happened. In fact, I never became a part of a hit, only worked with directors and crew who understood the medium well or understood the audience’s preferences and made films. I believe that is why there have been good successes. Happy with that.
???? Dad shines in roles?
One of the special features of Malayalam cinema is that after a father has played a role in a film, his father keeps coming back for roles for a few serials. That’s why now I take only such roles very selectively. If the character demands it is very necessary, he may also act as a father.
CID Musa second part?
I want to do it immediately. Discussions are underway. Udayan and CB have written the script of its first part. When Musa dropped the first part, it took almost two years for the script alone. It is only possible to get a better picture if you work as much or twice as much and use the techniques of technology. It’s never that simple. Musa 2 will definitely happen if the conditions are right. And since the release of that film, many people have been asking whether the second part of the film will happen. I believe there is a time for everything. If Dileep joins, it will definitely happen.
New pictures?
‘Monster’, ‘Solomon’s Bees’ and some small and big films are about to release. VC Abhilash’s ‘Sabesh Chandra Bose’ is the next film to be released. There is a belief that ‘Sabashchandra Bose’ will be a good film with a change in slang and form from what has been done so far.
Khalid Rahman directed Thallumala ‘Paltujanvar’ and ‘Anuragam’ starring Gautham Vasudev Menon.
Suresh Gopi’s mentor in the film ‘Need Varane Prathamund’?
Suresh Gopi is basically a good man. He creates a situation for everyone to perform. It is a person who stands by someone when they fall down. I have been following Sureshetan since I was an associate. I see him as a brother.
Closeness with Sanju Samson?
After Sachin retired from cricket, I didn’t feel like watching cricket. Meanwhile, Sachin is back in the IPL. Sanju was also present in it. I was very happy to see a beginner boy in the same vein as Sachin. Especially a Malayali guy. Since then I have not missed a single game of Rajasthan Royals. The desire to meet Sanju happened when he was acting in ‘Paltujanvar’. While acting in that film, one day Basil Joseph introduced Sanju to me over the phone. Sanju saw my film ‘Jo and Jo’ and shared his opinion about the same. He also said that Sanju has seen most of the films I have done. Seeing my love for Rajasthan Royals, Sanju gifted me a Rajasthan Royals jersey. I see it as a great honor. I see it as a precious reward or gift for my lifelong love for cricket. It was a good experience.
