Aju VargheseAju Varghese has been able to reserve a space for himself in the minds of Malayalam movie goers this year. His roles have been diverse and he has created a niche in Malayalam films.
Happy and contended
Many of my films caught the attention of the viewers this year. I am a very normal person, so I feel good and do not have much ambition. I am not overjoyed. I am happy that I could entertain viewers.
Plans for 2016
I have no resolutions for the New Year and as with each year, I have to call Nedumudi Venu and seek his blessings on New Year day. I need to act in some good films, that's all. I have no plans to end acting in comedies.
'I never wanted to be an actor', says AjuDirector's boy
That my characters are getting noticed is because the director of all my films were good. I am a director's boy and give what is asked from me. I am being noticed because I worked with some good directors and script writers, not because of my talents.
I have no resolutions for the New Year, says AjuStill diffident
I am still diffident because five years is not a long duration in films. I feel I am still a newbie. I am still a good viewer of good films who is under the shadow of good directors.
Aju in the movie 'Su Su Sudhi Vaathmekam'Vineet, a school
I never wanted to be an actor. Vineet was my classmate and when he made a film, he invited me to act. He taught me how to learn and act professionally without sacrificing personal bonds. Malarwady Arts Club created a family and it is still in my life.
I was afraid while acting with Dileep because he is very talented and I was afraid whether I would make mistakes.
A still from 'Adi Kapyare Kootamani'I believe in pure entertainment and I believe that those who spend Rs 100 on a ticket must at least get Rs 50 back. That yardstick made my performance in the last year appealing. I think I can entertain people and that brings happiness to me.
Producers, who make films believing a director and a script writer, are gods to me. I respect them a lot and feel that they should not be tricked. I believe in films that have morals and the ones which flow with the society, not something that negates it. I love films that respect culture. I had acted in many short films before coming to mainstream cinema and I am happy that most people with whom I worked with have made a name for themselves in films.

Even though I have come to Dubai to assist Vineet in a film, there is no director in me. I needed an excuse to spend some nice time in Dubai. Since the producer is a classmate, the whole setup looks like a get-together, that's all.
