Jyothish MG talks about Mammootty’s transformation from Bilal to Michael on Bhishma Parvat. The written note is taken over by the fans. According to Jyothish, Mammootty is one of the few actors who has made it a point to express the character’s personality by hiding his personality.
Jyothish’s words:
Michael on ‘Bhishma Parvat’ is not Bilal who was disgusted by the blood in ‘Big B’. There are no words to describe the effort made by an actor at this age to create a man named Michael who wipes his eyebrows, eyes and cheeks from the eyebrow-raising Bilal with nothing but dedication to the art of acting.
Mammootty is not an actor who uses his character as a star who retains his stardom even when he invites the character to cry in a pre-determined style. Even when you see Bhishmaparvam, the justice he does to the character as an actor can only be seen as a dedication to that art. It’s not a bloody bill. An ordinary man who had to be murdered by circumstances. The “star” is an actor who never stops to understand Michael, who is caring and affectionate in his demeanor, demeanor, mannerisms and appearance.
Few actors are convinced that the story and character are what the audience needs to experience. Few people realize that the actor’s job is to make the character feel the audience to the fullest.
If the basis of the art of acting is to express the personality of the character by hiding the personality of the person, then Mammootty is one of the few actors who goes that route. His meticulous approach to character creation while remaining a star is a lesson that can be emulated by any acting student. It is a perfect example of the realization that ‘it is not Siddhi but Sadhana that makes art more artistic and powerful’.
We have no other actor who can present the local vernacular of Kochi with the utmost ease and credibility, even in the style of dialogue.
This is not to say that Michael is the best character in Mammootty’s acting career, but in a blockbuster film.
The presence of Nedumudi Venu KPAC Lalitha, who saw acting as an art form, is a great verse that literally conveys the memory of the two great talents who proved themselves in this film.
