Harishree Ashokan is the favorite actor of Malayalees. At the same time, Harishree Ashokan has already done good roles in Malayalam cinema. The movies with actor Dileep gave the most laughs. CID Moosa, Punjabi House, Flying Saucer are just a few examples. In the latest interview, Ashoka talks about this. But it is still in the Tharakan family of Cherthala. I've been and seen. That movie was a super hit. All its dialogues are still memorized by people. When there is a problem, the first thing people ask is what about Ramana. My wife also asks me this at home. They will ask what about Ramana, why is Ramana silent. Then nothing will say nahi nahi. Only half of the script written by Punjabi House has become a film. If it has a modified script and comedy, it can make two films like Punjabi House.
It was a time when I was doing through-out comedy characters and wanted to get an emotional character. There was one such scene in Punjabi House where I cried emotionally. But that scene was cut before the release of the movie. I asked Rafi why the scene was cut. Rafi's reply was that if a character who does a comedy that makes the whole film laugh, cries, it will affect the film. A week after the film ran, I asked them to put it on. Then Rafi said that people will keep an eye on Ashoka if he leaves. I myself have told many comedies in many other films which were rejected by saying no. Had Hanifika been there, a second party would have happened sometimes. Can't say it might happen in some other angle. Hanifika was the backbone of it. The combination of Dileep and me was always a hit. A movie becomes a hit when everyone works hard from the producer to the tea man. Dileep is a man who laughs even when he hears a little comedy. He has great difficulty suppressing laughter. Even if you get a little joke, you will enjoy it a lot. I do it without looking at Dileep's face.
