Canadian-Moroccan actress Nora Fatehi, who has been part of films like Baahubali and Rocky Handsome, has been roped in for Rosshan Andrrews’ upcoming Nivin Pauly-starrer Kayamkualm Kochunni. It is been one of the most anticipated Malayalam movies from the recent times. Nora will be seen performing a sensuous dance to a song that will also feature the movie’s protagonist Nivin, and they have started the shoot in Goa.
“It’s been four days since I started working on the movie and we are having a gala time, shooting the sequence in Goa. The song is set in an environment where you also have a handful of foreigners and the wealthy. I guess Nivin’s character plans a heist amid the colourful atmosphere, which would sure distract those present,” Nora Fatehi was quoted as saying by Times of India.

At the outset actor Babu Antony made it clear. “I want my photograph to be looked different,” he said. He doesn’t want to pose wearing a regular suit. When he posed for photo shoot, I felt he was right. He cut quite a dash in his new avatar. “Different”- actually it was an underused actor’s inner voice and urge to do meaningful roles in cinema. All through the conversation, when he talked about good cinema and director Bharathan the nostalgia was palpable on his face.
Babu Antony can be included in the category of actors who have given innovative mannerisms to villain characters. “I believe an actor should have a mind to adopt any character. The king in “Vyshali”, Sulthan in “Chanda” and Nandakumar in “Aparahnam” are all contrast roles. In Bharathettan’s movies I have done three different characters. With my entry there was a trend change for negative roles. “I portrayed villain characters in a silent and subtle way,” says Babu Antony. “I was hesitant to do scenes like rape and molesting women. It was a trend then. Even after I have done all this, a few directors here don’t know what I am capable of. We have to be mentally open. Things are going to the extent of sidelining me. Everybody has a space here,” the actor opens up.
For him entertainment is all about variety. “By following trends, we move towards making monotonous movies. The challenge before an artist is to break the monotony,” he adds.
“Cinema has a tradition. It has been evolved in relation with human psychology. There is a basic system and we have to follow it. A lot of masters have worked behind it. So it’s not child’s play. Cinema has a grammar, only the treatment is different. I believe in traditional film making. There is no new generation and old generation films,” explains Babu Antony. “I am not blaming anyone. How many good film institutes do we have to teach cinema here? So where do they go?” asks the soft-spoken actor.
Excerpts
Experience with different generations…
It’s a great learning while working with old generation directors. I had my debut in Bharathan’s film “Chilambu”. It was a different experience in Bharathettan’s school. Had he been alive today, he would have become a director with international appeal. There is lack of seriousness in cinema now. It is made for television. After getting satellite rights, films are made within that budget. The big screen affair has become small screen affair now.
You have a mass hero image and a villain image as well. Which role you would enjoy most?
It should be strong character. Villain is actually a supporting actor. Supporting actors are also important in films. Today’s cinema is hero-centric and it becomes like mono-act. When I was doing hero characters, all supporting actors also had equal importance. It’s a pyramid structure. You can see it in my successful films like “Chanda”, “Dada” and “Kadal” etc.
Do you think the film industry has exploited your talent as an actor?
‘Definitely not’. I was also part of parallel cinemas like “Sayanam” and “Aparahnam”. I had a good role in “Vyshali” and in “Yugapurushan” I portrayed the character of Ayyankali. Moreover, I have acted in five different languages.
What change did the award winning film “Aparahnam” (1991) bring in your career?
As an actor it was a milestone. The film and my performance were appreciated in international circuits. But I won’t run after awards. My performance in “Vyshali”, “Sayanam” and “Aparahnam” could have been considered for awards. There may be other reasons for not considering me for awards. Adoor Gopalakrishnan has said that “Aparahnam” is one of the best 10 films made in Malayalam.
Looking back, do you feel your selection of films has caused hiccup in your career?
Not really. I have selected almost good films. I was selective also. In my action films there won’t be any unnecessary violence or sex scenes. Those films were family entertainers. That’s why people and children alike ask me when I will be doing an action film.
How did you cope with the controversies in your movie career?
I am a straight forward human being. I won’t mind such things. It was scheming in the film industry by a few people. They exaggerated things. They have tried to attack me in different ways. But the people here know me very well. They are watching everything.
Tell us about your creative side…
I write poetry and stories. Basically I am a painter. But I had interest in photography too. So I planned to join in National Film Institute, Pune to study photography course. But I couldn’t join for the course as I hadn’t studied science in Plus 2. During my visit to the institute in the evenings to watch film screenings, I got friends there, including director Rajkumar Hirani, Sriram and Mohan et al.
About your directorial venture?
The shoot will commence in August. It’s been my dream for 15 years. It’s a love story between a poet and a lady musician. The story revolves around three generations. I will be doing the poet’s role.
About your fitness regime…
Two-hours workout everyday and strict diet. No bingeing.
Your definition of ‘love’…
Sacrifice. When you find the person you love and if your love is not reciprocated, don’t force them and follow them. Move away…
About future projects…
New film “Buddy”is getting ready for release. “Idukki Gold” by Ashiq Abu and a Tamil film produced by Dhanush are other films.
