Mohanlal is one of the finest actors Indian Cinema has ever produced. The Superstar of Malayalam cinema rightly titled as the Complete Actor is at present acting in popular director Lal Jose's movie "Velipaadinte Pusthakam". Anyone who has acted along with Mohanlal or has seen him shooting knows that he completely turns himself into the character immediately after the director says 'action'. He is known to have cracked jokes just before shooting an emotional scene and completely get into the characters shoe within seconds. Many of his coworkers relate this phenomenon to the turning ON of a switch.
But the born actor forgot to 'turn off' the switch lately while shooting for "Velipaadinte Pusthakam". In an emotionally draining scene, Mohanlal is seen kneeling with a girl in his arms. The actor rightly portrays the pain of the character by bursting into tears. His performance was so real that everyone applauded immediately after the director said 'cut', only to understand that it was not natural acting. Mohanlal continued to weep in pain, unable to shake himself off and get out of the skin of the character until the crew came rushing to support him get up and move towards his caravan.
"Velipaadinte Pusthakam", the first collaboration of Mohanlal and Lal Jose has "Angamaly Diaries" fame Reshma Rajan as the lead lady. The film produced by Aashirvad Cinemas is expected to release in September this year.
