Lal, being the veteran that he is, came up with improvisations that were often impromptu. Prior to filming, we had a workshop where we all discussed our roles and there was an exchange of ideas. He turned director after I left the industry. I had never worked with him earlier, though knew him in the past. Your on-screen chemistry with Lal Sr is lovely, how was it working with him?
With technology to their aid, they had everything well planned. The young generation are focused and hard working. He never compromised and his confidence in extracting natural performances from the cast is commendable. During filming, I was struck by his brilliance and his enthusiasm. “Initially, I wondered about director Althaf when we met for the narration. What was the experience like working with the younger generation? I was impressed with Sheela’s characterisation. Subsequently the director met me in Bengaluru where I have settled down. To my surprise, I received another message on WhatsApp. I was occupied with my personal issues and I completely forgot to call them. One day I was surprised to receive a message on Facebook from the team stating that they wished to meet me on my visit to India. “I was living in the USA and had no intentions of doing films. How did Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela happen? The twice Kerala state award winner (for Savidham and Chakoram) spoke to Gulf News tabloid! on her new journey. Now two decades later, she returned with Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela (NNO). Marriage and family kept her away from the screen. To play a role with negative traits and to hold herself in the company of Mohanlal and Shobana (who were the favourite on-screen pair in the 80s) was commendable.Īfter playing a good range of roles that included the free-spirited Anne of Chillu and the arrogant spinster of Chakoram, Krishna called it quits after completing Sukritham in 1994. Krishna was Rajeshwari to the hilt and when she appears towards the end of the story as a party pooper, viewers were clearly not happy to see her. At a later point, he meets Nandinikutty and thinks of reuniting with her and separating from Rajeshwari, but destiny’s cruel hands takes him back to his wife and children. But he is not happy caught in a relationship dominated by an arrogant Rajeshwari.
Balachandran, an IAS officer marries Rajeshwari, the daughter of a wealthy businessman. In that family drama, Balachandran and Nandinikutty, lovers for long are compelled by circumstances to part ways.
Whenever someone mentions Shanti Krishna, one film immediately comes to my mind - Pakshe, featuring Mohan Lal and Shobana along with her. Her Sheela Chacko in Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela shows poise and grace in the face of an adversity.
