National award winner Aparna Balamurali said that she started watching cinema seriously after Surarai Potri. Aparna said that women’s wages should be raised not because of greed for money but because of helplessness. Aparna said at the Manorama News Conclave that Nanjiamma deserves the award for whatever reason.
Aparna’s words: It was after Surarai Potri that I felt the need to become a good artist. It could be the training they gave. The happiest thing is that now I am doing a movie called Thangam with Biju Menon. Many Malayalam movies are available now. I am not as bald as Bommi in Suraraipotri. She is an only daughter. It has its own problems. But now a lot has changed. Now I have an opportunity to clarify my position. Taking care to use words responsibly. Mahesh’s revenge is a turning point in life. Dilishetan was called first when taking decisions. Then he made his own decisions. There may have been glitches. That is how Surarai reaches Potri. I have often asked myself about the rewards of women. The male actors who came to the film with me are getting paid more. That’s not true. It is not greed for money but helplessness that is revealed. It was a time when the views on female characters in cinema changed. Women centric films are very well received by the audience. It is a big change in society and film industry. Nanjiamma deserves the award for whatever reason. One in ten can kill someone’s happiness. There is no need to criticize them for getting an award. It is such a unique song. I can never sing that song. Aparna says.
