Mohanlal indeed is one of the greatest actors of our times. I can cite any numberof filmswhere he has touched new heights in histrionics- I.V Sasi;s 'Uyarangalil..' to Sibi Malyil's 'Dasaratham'. I am amazed at the way he has transformed from his 'Manjil virinj pookkal or thenum vayambum days to what he is now. I am from Tamil Nadu with a lot of respect for the Kerala artistes. Murali is another fine artiste who is yet to get his due recognition. As rightly said by somebody in these columns, Murali, Thilagan, Nedumudi, Oduvil Unnikrishnan, Sreenivasan are all superb peformers. Malayalam industry is ay ahead of others in every aspect.
