Prasanthan Kottapalli from the movie ‘Sandesam’ is coming back. No one can forget Prashanthan Kotapally, younger brother of Prabhakaran Kotapally and Prakashan Kotapally in Sathyan Anthikad film Sandesh. Prashanthan Kottapally was a child star who ‘lit the embers of revolution’ as a child actor in ‘Sandesha’, which touched the political thought of Malayalis through scenes that made people laugh and think. That Uzhappan Chekan, who swayed in front of the camera 32 years ago, is now a doctor – Dr. Rahul Laxman and wife Dr. Lakshmi. This doctor couple is running a clinic in Vadutala, Ernakulam. Rahul Laxman is back in front of the camera following 32 years. S.N. Dhyan Srinivasan is playing the lead role in the film directed by Swamy for the first time and Rahul is playing the role of a doctor.
Acting in Sandesham is the biggest luck of my life. Once following the message, the head master of the school asked me, “Aren’t you a mime artist, you even imitate me?” Do you want to emulate a rank holder?”. It really stuck with me. From that day he started studying hard. The last scene in ‘Sandesha’ is the brothers going to work and pushing me to school. It was indeed true.
After the movie ‘Sandesham’, a serial called Chitralekha was made. I was in episode twenty one. It was a very challenging role and everyone loved it. He did not act following that. Studies and MBBS went with the hustle and bustle. Joining medicine is my dream come true. I did ‘Piravi’ before ‘Sandesha’ and that was my first film. Shaji N. Karun Sir was the director of Chitranjali then. At that time I was participating in the State Youth Festival. Shaji sir had invited him to participate in a program that day. When he came back from there, he said to his father: “I want to do a movie, man.” I was selected by Aravindan sir and Shaji sir. He acted as Premji sir’s son. So the actor in me was born through ‘Piravi’. The shooting of ‘Sandesam’ took place in 1991. P.N. Nedumudi acted as Venu sir’s son in Menon sir’s ‘Moneyorder’. So I have acted in three films.
Srinivasan Chetan’s son Vineeth Srinivasan studied under Gopalan Mash in my Gurunathan Perinthat. He was the one who told Sreeniyatan that “I have a disciple, he should be considered for the film”. That is how the message reaches the cinema. One of the greatest blessings of my life was to act in a classic film, Sandesh.
88 to 92 State School Youth Festival for Mimicry and Mono Act won first place. It was at that time that Piravi acted. At that time, Manorama had a feature titled ‘Tarathilakkam’ featuring me and actor Vineeth Kumar. Mimicry and mono act is what led me to cinema.
I came to know an interesting thing regarding the genius Kalabhavan Manichetan when I was the Fine Arts Secretary at Kozhikode Medical College. He was there as the chief Alex Reed that day. Kalabhavan Naushad was also there. He asked my name. I said Rahul Laxman. As if he didn’t know anything, he went on stage and said, ‘Rahul Laxman is the one who defeated me’. He had competed with me in the State School Youth Festival in 1988. I was shocked to hear that. Later, I went to Manichetan and said, “Maniyeta, I didn’t want this cheat”. This bell is that KR who came from Chalakudy Boys High School. I didn’t know Mani. My hair still stands up when I think of Manichetan. He is a great talent that we have lost.
S.N. I am preparing to play a role in Swami sir’s first film. Dhyan Srinivasan is the hero. After thirty-two years, he is coming in front of the camera. Sreeniyatan essayed a role that was noted then and now he got a chance to come back with Sreeniyatan’s son. Dhyan has a very good personality. Happy to act with Dhyan. There is only a slight spelling difference between actor and doctor. The profession is both. But being an actor and a doctor has some advantages. The desire is that both should be carried together in a good way.” – said Rahul Laxman.
