Loved the interview. He is so jovial, no wonder where the humour comes from him in his movies.

Loved this interview, enjoyed the energy and humour and the way A.P didn’t really answer any of your questions. 🙂 Though I wish he had answered the one about new Malayam cinema being loved more outside Kerala. (Disagree! It’s just taking time for some older malayalees to get away from being overly story focused)
The way he spoke about the secondary characters setting up the Malar and George romance was also good. I saw Premam first and then Nerum and you can really see how constrained the earlier was, it’s like it was made by a different person.
So glad Ayyapanum Koshiyum was mentioned at the end, it was the last Malayalam film I watched. Discussion post for it please?
