Nepali film actor Siddhartha Lama who had also earlier appeared in
Malayalam film “Yodha” starring south superstar Mohanlal. “The film has
two tracks set in two timelines. But they are confused about what route
to take; whether to embrace the spiritual path of the Dalai Lama or to
resort to terrorism to reach their goal”, said Lenin Rajendran, the
movie director. Manisha also said that equality and spirituality are the
only answers to the war and chaos that the world is facing. Quizzed on
the rising issues of intolerance, the actress said: “I believe in
preserving our culture, at the same time I also believe in freedom of
expression”. The actor, in real life, is a cancer surviver, and is now
back in action for a film promotion. Award winning cinematographer Madhu
Ambat who cranks the camera for the film said that since the characters
in the film have a mix of modernity and myths, he enjoyed working for
the film as he has played a lot with darkness in the film. “I consider
it as a huge health setback that happened to me and I want to move
beyond the tag”. When the word cancer is used, you feel it means death.
It’s true that the disease is rare and painful and most of us don’t
survive. “Society should know about people like me who have fought
cancer and strive for a better life”. “I really wish, I could act once
again with Mohanlal”, she added. “I used to browse only to look at good
and positive results”.
