Hello
Siddique–Lal made mass entertainers that had equal doses of comedy, drama and action too. However, the duo parted ways, marking the end of a fabulous era, to independently pursue filmmaking.
Many were vocal about how they miss the humour that was part of Malayalam movies in the past and opined that political correctness has affected the movie-viewing experience in present-day Malayalam cinema.
When my daughter was born, the doctors said she won't live if surgery was not done, said Siddique.
Suriya says the late director instilled in him an inner confidence to believe in himself and his talent.
Though Siddique has made only one film in Hindi, the films directed by Siddique-Lal and the ones directed by Siddique were remade in Hindi.
His mortal remains will be placed at the Indoor Stadium in Kadavanthra from 9 am to 11.30 am on Wednesday for public homage.
Malayalam cinema has lost a great human, said Lal.
Among the early incidents in Siddique’s life which had a dramatic element took place after a mimicry programme of Kalabhavan at Mammen Mappillai Hall in Kottayam.
People from various walks of life, mostly accompanied by their families, flocked to the indoor stadium to pay their final respects to the departed director.
Siddique entrusted me with the task of making my father agree to act in Godfather.
