6 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Jayaram faced criticism for smaller roles in cross-lingual films
- His performance as King Rajashekara in 'Kantara: Chapter 1' earns widespread appreciation
- Jayaram to reunite with son Kalidas after 22 years in Malayalam film 'Ashakal Aayiram'
Jayaram, a notable figure in the Mollywood film industry, has faced criticism in the past for his minimal roles in cross-lingual films. However, his recent performance in Rishab Shetty's 'Kantara: Chapter 1' has turned things around, earning him widespread appreciation for his role as King Rajashekara.
During his break from Malayalam cinema, which lasted for over a year and a half, Jayaram continued acting in Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada projects. While these roles were not that of a hero, the actor was waiting for a good film to come his way.
Jayaram's patience seems to have paid off with 'Kantara: Chapter 1', which has brought him renewed recognition. The actor has addressed the perception that he takes up smaller roles in non-Malayalam films, explaining that while some roles may appear shorter, they are substantial characters.
