Jayasoorya's take on mimicry

Staff Reporter

KOCHI: "I'm afraid that mimicry will have the same fate as that of professional drama or kathaprasangam," it was Jayasoorya speaking. The actor, who started his career as a mimicry artiste, had dropped in at the main venue on Marine Drive to watch the mimicry competition on Sunday evening.

But, there was no sign of the competition beginning and Jayasoorya stepped into the media centre for a chat with the mediapersons there. Expressing concern at the fall in standards in the mimicry items, Jayasoorya said that it was always possible to bring in new ideas into it. "For example, you can introduce mobile phone messages in the voice of film stars. Or like the stars speaking about the tsunami tragedy."

He said that he had not participated in any school youth festival.

His youth festival days were only during college. That was when he started trying out his hand at mimicry, which later led to a career in films.
