Have parallel cinemas betrayed Jayaram?

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:  Most often, parallel cinemas have helped many a cine artiste win national awards. Artistes such as Kodiyettam Gopi, P J Antony, Mammootty, Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Balachandra Menon, Salim Kumar and Murali have all won national awards through non-commercial films.

This time, too, comedy actor Suraj Venjaramoodu achieved the national honour through a parallel film. But, for actor Jayaram, such cinemas have been disillusionment.

Jayaram’s words, clearly reflect his desperation, as he says he had high expectations on films like Sesham, Teerthadanam and Dany.

For long, Jayaram has been backing off from parallel films, until recently when he acted in one such film. It was Shaji N Karun’s Sopanam. However his role failed to generate rave reviews.
