\"Parvathy Parvathy Thiruvothu<\/a> began her career with ‘Out of Syllabus’ in 2006 and over the years, she built a strong filmography that includes ‘Take Off’, ‘Uyare’, ‘Ullozhukku’ ‘Virus’, ‘Puzhu’ and others. Recently in an interview, the actress opened up on why the Mollywood stars Mammootty<\/a> and Mohanlal<\/a> are called the true legends.<\/p>\n

On working with Mohanlal<\/p>\n

Recalling her early experience with Mohanlal, Parvathy spoke to Pinkvilla about the impact it had on her. She worked with him when she was just starting out.\u201cI worked with Mohanlal a long time ago. I was 19; I am now 38. It\u2019s been almost 20 years. Going back to who I was, he kept his presence of mind as an actor, and I was amazed by that. Also, Jagathy Sreekumar was there, and I had only one scene.\u201dShe admitted that she was still figuring out her craft at that stage. The experience helped shape her understanding of acting.\u201cI didn\u2019t even know as an actress what I wanted to be at that time, and what this craft is. I was a child in a lot of ways, and I understood that was the kind of quality as an actor I wanted eventually. I am proud to say that now, after 20 years, I am there where I can switch in and out, have those intuitions, and take care of my co-actors,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n

Why Parvathy Thiruvothu calls them \u2018Legends\u2019<\/p>\n

Parvathy stressed that being a legend is not just about stardom. She highlighted the importance of conduct and empathy on set.\u201cI am so obsessed with taking care of others on sets because I have seen \u2018these legends\u2019 are made legends because of how they are also better human on set. It has nothing to do with box office because it won\u2019t matter if they are a horrible person. I think this is why people speak about certain actors as legends, because they walk on set and make it a better place.\u201dAbout working with MammoottySpeaking about Mammootty, she shared a similar experience. Mammootty’s ‘Puzhu’ co-star noted the aura they bring, but also the equality the Mollywood’s big M’s maintain during performances.\u201cWith Mammootty also, it was the same experience. I mean, obviously, when these people walk on to a set and there is a gravitas. Everyone goes silent and all. However, when they are in front of you, you have to forget they are these legends. Otherwise, how will we act together, like what if I have to act like slapping them if I am looking at them in awe. I love it when these so-called legends and superstars allow nothing to come in the way of their craft or at the job in hand. I could be a newcomer and in front of the camera, we are equals,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

Parvathy Thiruvothu on completing 2 years in cinema<\/p>\n

In a separate interaction with TOI City, Parvathy opened up on completing two decades in the industry. She spoke about growth, courage, and evolving perspectives.\u201cI started at 17. I was fearless and bold. But over the years, your understanding of courage evolves. There\u2019s wisdom that comes with knowing how harsh this industry can be. It\u2019s an ongoing journey, and I\u2019m proud of the craft I\u2019ve built and the friendships I\u2019ve nurtured – few, but meaningful. Last year, as I was approaching 20 years in cinema, I felt old. But earlier this year, I felt like an infant again. You can start afresh at any stage in life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parvathy Thiruvothu began her career with ‘Out of Syllabus’ in 2006 and over the years, she built a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454278,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[18,117,3304,19,17,5152,17147,3303,327,138364],"class_list":{"0":"post-454277","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-film-industry","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-mammootty","14":"tag-mohanlal","15":"tag-mollywood","16":"tag-movies","17":"tag-parvathy-thiruvothu"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116469479180643279","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454277\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
