Biju Menon

“I have never been bothered by the length of my role in a film as I want to be associated with good films.”

“I have only chosen roles that I am comfortable in - from the many that have come to me.”

“I have deliberately tried to do a variety of roles during my career so that people aren't bored of me. I also believe I have never prompted my directors or my audience to say that I have let them down with my performance. Maybe that's what has worked for me.”

“I am not concerned about the age of the character or the length of my role in a film. What matters is its quality.”

“I am not ready to test the viewers' patience by playing one role far too many times.”

“Lalitham Sundaram' is a simple family movie that has a positive feel.”

“I enjoy doing comic roles that blend with the story. I am looking for cinema that is sensible and is entertaining and engaging, be it is comic or serious.”

“I don't want the burden of the success or failure of a film entirely on my shoulders.”

“It's not that I don't like starring as the hero, it's more of a mental block that prevents me from doing so.”

“I do enjoy leading a simple, uncomplicated life.”

“My career is indeed going the right way; I could not have asked for anything more.”

“I go by my judgement when a role is offered to me.”

“I don't spend time planning each move in my career.”

“I come from a middle class family and I am not overambitious.”

“There is no point in performing in a film with a weak subject.”

“Playing character roles gives me the freedom to try out different roles, including negative ones or elderly ones. When one is playing the lead role, clearly there are limitations and responsibilities.”

“I don't like posting my opinion on social media and responding to controversies that might follow.”

“I have done a wide range of characters and getting acknowledged as a comedian is encouraging for me as an actor.”

“I give preference to scripts and of course, the importance of my role in the storyline. Still I am not after hero roles. I take such roles only when I find the scripts exciting.”

“Rather than doing a hero-oriented film, I love being a part multi-starrer film, because such films always strike a chord with audience.”
