Not just Malluwood's heroines but also character artistes from here are welcomed with both hands by the Tamil filmdom. The fact that a host of heroines from Kerala have gone on to make an impact in Kollywood is well known.

Now it seems it is the time for character artistes.

After Cochin Haneefa's splendid role in the recently released Pattiyal, he has been getting many offers there. Thilakan after a long gap is playing an important role in the movie Nee Venunda Chellam and Nedumudi Venu and Manoj K Jayan are coming together for Sarath Kumar's next movie Vaitheeswaran.

No doubt that if the trend continues the Malluwood would be deprived of artistes who can perform character roles.
