Jayaraj is a director who has tried all genre films in Malayalam. Jayaraj has proved his talent in commercial films and parallel films alike and has gained a lot of attention in many of his films.
Johnny Walker was a super hit film directed by Jayaraj starring Mammootty.
Jayaraj says that actor Lal was initially selected as a character in the film, which is still widely accepted by the audience, but Lal backed out saying that he might not.
Later, Jayaraj said in an interview to Silly Monks Mollywood that when he directed the film Kaliyattam, he was forced to act because he wanted Lal to be a character in it.
‘When we see people who are right for the role, we can quickly understand. See if a face is possible for our character. It was the same when Vijayan was cast for the film Shantham. That’s how Lal was selected for the game.
Lal was called to act in my film Johnnie Walker. Lal was first called for the role of Swami in it. Lal ran that day saying I was not there. He said that he should look for some other work.
And when the fun started, I called Lal once more. I told Siddique to somehow convince Lal. Lal plays the role by calling Lal and saying that he will go and do it.
Even then Lal did not have an iota of confidence. But among the characters that Lal has played, the film that still stands out the best is Kaliyattam,’ says Jayaraj.
