At the end of 2005 we had lamented that year belonged to superstars only. In 2006 too, that trend continued and they have solidified their grip on the industry. The movie Rasathantram broke the record of Rajamanickyam as the top grosser in the history of Malayalam movie history and now casting a super star is a no brainer for a producer. The new tactic of the producers, besides casting superstars is to add more release centers, hoping that the initial pull would fetch them a decent return.

Only stars we can say about is Dileep and Prithviraj, I dont think Dileep is a good actor.. He is a good Entertainer..He face or High’t doesn’t suit for an ACTION film,yeas he done well in RunWay still i dont think. Prithviraj , is good for action films and High Class family subjects but can’t show him as a coolie or an auto Rikshaw Driver or like that. They are like Mammoty and Mohanlal,But they don’t have enough talent to compare with the seniors. Dileep and Prithviraj. they can be developed if got in the hands of good directors like Lohithadas and Fasil.. There was!!! an actor who can act superbly , his name is Biju Menon. Malayalam Industry had wasted him.,There was no director except Kamal and Shaji Kailas who atleast tried to take the inside talent of the actor. Out there in Tamil Nadu ,so many directors are doing Experiments with senior stars .. and also using freshers.., can anyone expect any director taking a film like 7/G Rainbow Colony or Anbe Sivam or Vaali etc.. All the films mentioned are not Big budget films … When can we expect those kind of films here in MALAYALAM, like those of Padmarajan or I.V Sasi or Barathan or (in Tamil) Barathiraja or K.Balachandra or Selvaragavan or Bala!!!? Can we ever Expect? or Dream???. It’s happening to Malayalam ,that what was happened to Kannada Films.!
