When Malayalam cinema lost its original flavour, directors like me also lost relevance-observed Venu Nagavally, the veteran actor and the director of the latest release ‘Bharya Swantham Suhurthu’.

He was talking to the press as part of the promotion of his latest movie.

He added ''When I started my career in Malayalam as an actor, directors were much more powerful than those of these days. And now the industry and actors have become too big which is leaving out small storytellers like me”.

Venu Nagavally also said that it is no longer possible to make political films in Malayalam as no consistent political views are conveyed by the Parties.

‘Every ideology has been affected with cancer and people no longer believe that any of Political outfits are ideally suited to rule’ - adds Venu who had directed hit political films earlier like ‘Lalsalaam’ and ‘Rekthasaakshykal Sindaabad’.

Speaking about his new film he said that ‘Bhraya Swantam Suhuruthu’ acknowledges the importance of wives in maintaining a good household and that a man’s best friend is his wife.
