Exclusive:” Its a Dream Come True “- Asif Ali

Filed under Friends by on May 8, 2012 at 7:27 pm {4 comments}

Asif Ali,The ‘RITU’ fame as he has been known is all set for a Dream ride of his career. Even being his close friend,it took me almost two months to meet him in person and spend some quality time and when I did get the chance at the sets of “Best of Luck” movie sets,here in Ernakulam I thought I will write it down for you guys.

Asif tells me how all his friends complain on how he doesn’t call them or don’t pick up the call and how they say that he has forgot old days or relations. But the fact is no one really knows how last 2 months went for him,sleepless nights,back to back shoot and loads of travelling. All those tiresomeness is very evident in his face. He has completed 3 movies in this course of time,all with the biggest names in #malayalam film industry.

His career started with ‘RITU’,directed by Shyam Prasad the movie gave him a head start as a next generation “Cool Hero material”.The song “Kukku kukku” was pretty a hit and in fact we all associate him along with the song.But all that was just starting of a great road ahead !

The next movie project “Apoorvaragam” again by hit maker Sibi Malayil is sure to add to glitz to his career as the next generation dude.Do hit the Fan page by clicking on the link for updates about the movie.

From the sets of “Apoorvaragam” he flew to calicut to complete the 10-day schedule for next big flick,Sathyan Anthikkad movie “kadha-thudarunnu”. Acting along side senior actors like Jayaram, Mamta Mohandas , Innocent, KPAC Lalitha, Mamu Koya, Lakshmi Priya, Sreejith Ravi and Chembil Asokan was a unique experience he quotes.

Now he did not get even a day gap between these two schedules,poor thing ! And all his friends & family seems to only have complaints but then he says ” Its a Dream come True ….”.

With “Kadha-thudarunnu” to release this month end and “Apoorvaragam” on May 14 ‘th,Asif still has no time to be excited because he is busy shooting for “Best of Luck“, a fun filled movie with really exciting casting and directed by M A Nishad,Asif kitty just gets heavier and more exciting.Please do click the link for the official website & here for Fan page.

After the success of Vairyam , M A Nishad’s latest work titled BEST OF LUCK, is starred by Prabhu, Urvasi,Kailash and Archana Kavi of Neelathamaara fame; Asif Ali and Rima Kallingal of Rithu fame; Aneesh,Sruthi Menon,Jagathy Sreekumar,Suraj Venjaramoodu, Saleem Kumar,Bijukuttan ,etc.The movie is mainly focused for youngsters. Now that is an awesome combination.

Well,I am looking forward to have him settled and have a blast to celebrate his dream journey.Wishing all the very best for the road ahead. God Bless !

You have to be on the same level field to stay friends #relationships

Filed under Friends, Life by on December 20, 2011 at 7:01 am {no comments}

This usage was something that i thought was applicable to a corporate culture, where you would probably only get acquainted cos there is some level of a “common” play field. A manager would not be hanging out with lower grade staff.( Ok ! Unless we are talking about a hot chic) But then the sentence makes sense more than just that even in the simplest relationships we keep in our lives from our childhood. I just noticed that i only made friends with kids whom i thought were intellectually, mentally, physically equal or stronger than me. A trait i found scary was merely a human trait which cannot be altered at any cost.
Though i never wanted to believe that in our personal relationships there was never a thing called “levelled plane” , it’s a fact of life that human mind conceives every action with a rational treason. The only true & un corrupted feeling/action if ever was done will be an action of fate or hope in a force like God.
In most cases there is a “level plane” of our relationships we maintain secretly. Do you wish to test that? It’s more than easy, just look around! That close friend of yours who earns double your annual income is no way like you were once, that close friend who is famous/powerful that you are, is no way giving you priority like before. Now, in Life we say “that happens” ,”Change is the only constant”…shit like that ! Trust me, it’s just us ! Nothing else !
An example of that might be how friends behave differently when they are drunk or on weed, when they lose their inhibitions of material success…that’s when there is a “level plane” ! Well, i din’t mean to say friendship is live only when you are intoxicated but the point is,its a bloody “Mind game”. Only few people in lives have mastered to control that human trait & if you have come across anyone who have had that unique gift….. please…give me their contact number ! LOL !

God’s favorite Kid:Archana Kavi

Filed under Friends by on December 6, 2010 at 4:32 pm {14 comments}

_MG_0264You got be really lucky to meet a person of such energy and divinity that can even arise your spirits and then you got be really honored to have someone so as a friend. Luckily or unluckily I had that honor a couple of years back when my classmate and friend Neil Gonsalves introduced her to me. She was unlike the females I have met, was trying to be independent, had dreams and had the will to give it a try, which is something not everyone has. And the very reason we met too was to give a try to her long lived dream of becoming a RJ (have you heard her voice..LOL !). Anyway I had admired her for the courage she took in her decisions to have chosen to study in Ramapuram away from her sweet parents, away from her comforts. And then coming to Ernakulam every weekend to keep her dreams alive, trusting in God, trusting herself. She was trying to prove something I guess, maybe she has proved it too.

Though we had some radio auditions done, it never worked out and so we moved out to the next one-_MG_0305Television. Yes Indiavision was then an upcoming youth channel and I knew she could bring her true self there and so we gave it a try. Thus Archana Kavi,the Love Guru was born through “Bloody Love” ! Strange name na ? Perfect for her instincts though! LOL ! Ok. We were all a team then. We could call ourselves as “”THE THREE A’s”"- Archana Kavi,Asif Ali n Andrine Mendez(Me). It was hell of a team we had.

The next important thing that changed things for her was the photo shoot we had for a magazine cover with Aneesh Upasana.It was a part of her “Bloody Love” episode, just the normal stuff but the end result was really out of the unexpected. Her photos had come simultaneously in two leading magazines(Manorama,Mangalam) both in the same week(God’s favorite Girl you see !).

The days ahead was filled with phone calls from Film fraternity and from advertisement agencies. All of a sudden the wanted to be RJ turned VJ now become the most wanted model. She have done couple of good Ad’s including Mathrubumi Health magazine, Red Chillies Salwars,G-Tec, and the best one was Grand Kerala shopping festival. Last year you might have seen big fluxes and posters of Grand Kerala Shopping festival and even this year the same photos has been used by them(ADS).

IMG_1035IMG_1095

The next big thing was the music album she did with our upcoming super star Asif Ali-naming “HIMAMAZHAYIL”.The album was directed by Sabu Aditya,who referred archana’s pretty face to Lal Jose(WOW…See I told you she was God’s favorite).

From there what happened is something we all know now. But the journey was’nt all that easy for her. She completed her BBA and being away from her family, all this wasn’t all that creamy and easy. But as I said all credits to her WILL POWER and the DECISIONS she made and, yes, her family is like the most awesome family anyone could have. Jose Kavi,her father is probably the nicest person on earth after Santa Claus and Rossamma Jose, her mom is like the most caring mom anyone could ever dream of. They stood by their daughter when it was most required and they still are rock solid, believe me on that.(God’s favorite Kid u c..Nothing more to say)

Her life like all of us was filled with confusions, like for e.g she was supposed to do a role in “Patanathil Bootham” which for some good reason she opted out and we now know it was for something bigger. You will be surprised to know that her hobbies are cooking, housekeeping and stuff(what the &^*^ ?? i know..was hard for me to believe too). There is a lot to say about her like the time she had trying to learn Malayalam and the blunders that came out of her mouth..Ahh ! you could witness some of those in her Bloody Love videos available on Youtube.

After Neelathamara she’s reported to do a equally important role like in her first movie with Mohanlal starer ‘Mummy and me’ along side of Urvashi,Mukesh,kunchacko bobban. So we all ready to fall in love with kunjumallu again in her new ‘avaatar’ -”Jewel”(her name in the new movie).

But behind every great victory lies few battles that are common to all of us and yes Archana Kavi was no different(ya..just that she was God’s favorite) but there is an  important thing we all can save for a thought that what is it that makes the difference,only one answer – Simply your decisions & your Trust in yourself ! That’s Archana kavi a.k.a Kunjumallu for you…..

Archana Kavi:”I am Blessed”

Filed under Friends by on November 17, 2010 at 1:50 am {6 comments}

Now seeing the posters of Lal Jose’s next flick one would imagine the girl as one who has  been in the circle but believe  me Archana kavi is nowhere near. She portrays a very calm and silent girl or much better said the best adjective I might use would be her name ‘ kunjumallu’, which itself has all the sweetness that can make you diabetic. Anyway the point is the character that she plays has absolutely nothing to do with what she really is. Trust me! Spent 20mintues with her and you will know and as we sat down over a coffee to pen down something she almost eat my brains. No offense! But Archana is the kind of female that could very easily prove that “Kid! You aren’t nothing “… you will never find so much energy.Anyway the more I talk it might look like I am buttering her for our next interview though I would love one more sitting..

Anyway we got to know what she is made off and since I have so much to say I thought I will do it as two parts. So here it goes

So,Archana Jose  Kavi …you sound like you’re some kind of Geek ?

Yes I am! Why doubt?!

So what are your best friends?

Well… I love irritating people who are close to me… have you ever tried it??? It’s a lot of fun! He.. he. apart from that I love cooking… most of the people don’t believe that.. i don’t know why? My friends call me “house hold gal next door”… though I am really a lazy bum!

That’s a shocker? So this is what you used to do in your spare time?

I told u.. I am a lazy bum… ‘mood ki baat hai’… my hindi is still good! ;)

So how did you end up here with movies and stuff?

See I totally believe that I am God’s favorite child! I never wanted to be an actress… i was doing my BBA in kottayam… and I really wanted 2 do something, I tried getting into radio as a RJ but then I ended up being a VJ and from there my take off as an actress…

So no hard fight? Just a walk in the park ?

the funny part is that so many people die to be where I am now… but in my case I never wanted to be here… it came as a blessing… though it wasn’t a walk in a park…Cinema is never a walk in a park… there was a lot of emotional stress involved in it.. but at the end i would like 2 say- I AM BLESSED!

So what’s it like to be Archana Kavi ?

Ahhh..tricky questions ah. I am just another (extra)ordinary gal… hehe :) the one thing I miss is my family.. and my mom made food…

Ok  so how was your transition to kunjumallu for ‘Neelathamara’ ?

Ahh now that’s the million dollar question. Kunjumallu is like my exact opposite which I thought would be difficult. But then I would like to thank my DAD.. he was very particular about me n my bro  should be ordinary malayalee kids… it was a rule at home that we speak in malayalam… and more over I have seen my aunts and amma do all kunjamallu job… so I was very much aware of it… though there was no practical knowledge …

Well lets get personel….Relatioships ??

Ah ha….not that easy..watch this space for the next part of the interview and even post any questions you want to ask her.

the two super stars
