Khaki takes him to new heights

Deepak Parambol is happy with the response for his one-scene act in The Great Father.

Acting with megastar Mammotty has been his dream and Deepak Parambol was confident that one day he would get a call from a big Mammotty-starrer. And finally, when he got the call to the Big M’s latest flick The Great Father, his joy knew no bounds.

Deepak got the offer to essay the cop role in the film through his friend — cinematographer Roby Varghese Raj. “One day, he called me and said that there was a small role in Mammukka’s film The Great Father. Though it was a small one, what attracted me was Mammootty,” says the actor, who appeared in the role of IPS officer Shahul Hameed.

The actor is on cloud nine as he is getting good response for his character which appeared in just one scene. “Mine is a role which comes on the screen in a crucial scene. I am happy to know that viewers have accepted it well. Many of my friends and well-wishers are calling me to appreciate the role. But the first good comment came from Mammookka himself — after seeing that scene on the spot editor’s laptop,” says Deepak, who will be enacting a crucial role in the upcoming Rekshadhikari Baiju Oppu.

“Rekshadhikari.. goes through the lives of youngsters from a rural locality who are on a job hunt. I act as a village lad named Manoj. He is a fan of a man called Baiju — Biju (Menon) ettan’s character, who is like the leader of the local gang. He is also a government servant. Manoj wants to be like Baiju,” says the actor, whose character again has his lucky name. “Earlier I acted as Manoj in Thattathin Marayathu which became very popular. I hope this role will also be popular.”

While he will be seen playing cricket in Rakshadhikari…, in his next flick Captain, he will appear as a footballer. “Captain is a biopic on V.P. Sathyan, which will have Jayettan (Jayasurya) in the lead role. I will act as Sharafudeen Ali, a real life character,” sums up the actor, who has two more films in his kitty.
