Dear Laletta Mohan Lal,
Iam was one of your biggest admirers. You were the epitome of Malayalam cinema at one point and oh boy, what an awesome career you have had. From playing the role of a villain during your early days and swiftly becoming a heartthrob of millions, it was indeed one memorable journey.
Some of my all time favorite movies are yours. When I look back a few decades ago, the only movies that remain etched in my mind are movies in which you have acted. Aram+Aram, Mazhapeyum, Boeing Boeing, Kireedam, Chitram, Naadodikattu, Akkare Akkare are just a few that I can name on the top of my head. This is quite long actually. You made acting seem effortless and it came quite naturally to you. Whether you were paired with Sreenivasan, Jagathy or Priyadarshan, you easily pulled it off. It was a joy and tremendous pleasure to simply watch you on the screen. You surely ruled.
All fairy tales have an ending and must end on a sweet note, but you seem determined to not let your fairy tale end. I admire the commitment and determination but when it is at the cost of making a fool out of your faithful fan, enough is enough. The most ridiculous film you have even done is Prince, in 1996. Yes, the late 90's were the era of slapstics etc, but that is absolutely no excuse. When Suresh Krishna created magic with Rajini, you wanted a bite of that pie. What you got was a bite on your arse. Since then, your movies have been nothing but average, barring a handful. Tell me something: Why is it that you try to act younger, as you grow older? Whats your logic there?
I am sure you noticed your image fading and that is probably why you jumped into different ventures. Well, what business you do is your business. No Complaints there. The came the CCL, or Celebrity Cricket League. You would have done wonderfully as a mentor or could have even offered a lot of cheer and support from the sidelines like Mammooty and other seniors did, but NO, you had to be in the limelight. Your bowling action gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Frog in a Blender". Please, don't ever go out on the field again. You are not building your image. You will be ruining it.
When Drishyam was released, it was a bright glimmer of hope. It was brilliant and you were at your glorious best. I was almost forgetting the atrocities of the past and then you go and ruin it by acting as a Mermaid in Koothara. Dude, seriously? A mermaid? Don't you read the bloody story before committing? Or did someone trick you into doing it? Or did you think playing a mermaid will be a turning point in your career? It sure was, but only it turned downwards. Just when I thought you had hit rock bottom, your come up with Lalisom.
I will need a whole new page to write about Lalisom. What the heck..!! There is a limit to which you can test the audience. I am glad you got a first hand experience of what we feel about Lalisom. You were booed, made fun off and ridiculed, by your very own fans. You deserved all of it. Jokes about you are floating all over. Dude, you are not the first celebrity to fool the audience by lip syncing, but at least, do it well. The way you lip synced, made Ashley Simpson look like an expert. I am sure that as all this is happening, you are thinking about what you can do next to stay in the limelight. Either way, you cannot go any more to the bottom. You have hit the core of the earth and beyond. You are NOT a rock star. And you had to choose a national event to launch this joke. Shame.
Please, retire. Or if you can't, then please stick to acting and please choose role that suit your age. Stop doing crap that Priyadarshan throws at you. It's all copied and in most likely hood will be the remake of the remake of the remake of the remake. Enough. Seriously, enough..!
As I write this, I am assured that this is not only my voice. I am sure that thousands feel this way and so it's probably time you stood up and took notice.
Cheers
Your Fan (Once upon a time)
