“It’s one of the most difficult slangs to pull off. Like Mammootty picked the Pattambi-Eranadu slang in Bus Conductor. Listening is active.” It’s also the way to pick dialects, those tiny catches in intonations and that rhythm. Listening is being affected by what you hear.
Well-known Broadway casting director Michael Shurtleff once said about a crucial trait every actor should possess-“You have to listen. Mammootty is the only actor who could do Thiruvananthapuram ( Rajamanikyam), Kochi ( Danny, Manglish), Thrissur ( Pranchiyettan.) Kanjirappalli ( Koodevidey, Kottayam Kunjachan) and even South Canara ( Vidheyan).” Thikkurissi, Sathyan, Prem Nazeer and Madhu were prisoners of Thiruvananthapuram slang while Soman and Mohanlal had a mix of central Travancore and Thiruvananthapuram. None of his predecessors or contemporaries could get out of their own native slangs irrespective of the characters they played. Says Asianet News Editor and veteran journalist, MG Radhakrishan “I don’t know about perfection, but he is the first Malayali actor to have done so much experimentation with slangs. In the long drawn debate that is often measured on the yardstick of flexibility (though the implications vary), spontaneity and effortlessness, this is where (among a lot of others) Mammootty wins hands down. Movie spuns around the life of these characters with love, laugh and of course a lot of suspense.It’s also precisely where the actor scores over his legendary rival-Mohanlal. Story makes another twist meeting Malli, who sells flowers on the street. That was a different experience to Rajamanikyam, who always dreamed of parental love but never could experience it.
His life takes a turn when he meets Rajarathna Pillai and his two kids, who always fight for their father's wealth. He is so attached to them and treat them as his family. Not formal but sincere Rajamanikyam has lot of acquintances. He theory is that, he can trust the cattles more than humans. He credits his success to his being with the cattles. Life was a struggle for him and he made to the top at the end. He came to Bellary from Kerala as a young boy. He is a Cattle dealer by profession, uneducated and an orphan. Bellyraja always has his sun shades and lot of gold on him. Rajamanikyam alias Bellyraja is a multi millionaire.
