Arabikkadha was scripted not by Sreenivasan but by Iqbal Kutippuram.

Actually 2007 can be said to be the year of the decline of Mohanlal the actor. His benami productions have all been losing money. Most of his chums except Priyadarshan are bankrupt. Also, his speciality, comedy films are now handled by Dileep. His other speciality, family sentiments have no audience. People are sick of the superman movies. So where does that leave him in 2008?

Lal has repeatedly told in interviews, that he as a “weakness” for his friends (amongst other things of course )

I think thats the reason why he accepted movies like Mahasamudram (produced by chum Suresh Kumar), Alibhai & Baba Kalyani (Shaji Kailas who is a confidannte), Rock & Roll etc. Another thing you notice is that he gives dates more to his old friends/ directors that he has worked with (exceptions like Roshan Andrews and Anwar Rasheed), compared to Mammotty who gives dates to new comers like Mohan (who directed Katha Parayumbol), Amal Neerad, Shafi (relatively a new comer) etc

Lal has to learn to say NO to scripts, even if its from his closest chums and act in good movies with no super human touch (read as a returned NRI who was in paris, london and timbuktoo OR a superhuman character)

Mohanlal should take care of his laziness in reading scripts else he’s doomed. Laletta, dont believe what those dumb scriptwriters & directors say, they will only glorify your character to impress you. So please read the full script before you commit movies.

2007 was indeed a bad year of Mohanlal who was reduced to caricature roles, except for Paradesi. In fact Mohanlal is still playing in Dileep’s territory (comedy, mimicry) whereas in fact he should be playing in a higher field.
