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.
Looking ahead, Jayaram will soon be sharing the screen with his son Kalidas Jayaram after 22 years in a Malayalam film titled 'Ashakal Aayiram', directed by G Prajith. This reunion is sure to be a treat for fans of the Mollywood star.
