Mayamohini,can we expect something?
This April 7th,Dileep's latest movie 'titled' Mayamohini is going to hit the silver screens in Kerala. Dileep is the heroine of the film.Who is the hero then? well,I don't know.In Mayamohini,Dileep plays the title role,a girl/lady.For those who still didn't get amused, Dileep plays the role of Biju Menon's wife!

As a lead actor, Dileep didn't have a good time in recent times.Most of his movies were flops or averages.But 'Malaravadi Arts club',the one he produced is believed as a hit,another one 'The metro' is a flop.The first one had new faces directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan and second movie had Tamil star Sarath Kumar in a crucial role with some new comers. Apart from this, Dileep produced several movies including 'twenty-20'.In most of them,he was the hero.
For the last years, we could see Dileep desperately trying for a super duper hit in his account.He didn't do an don again.He went back to his comic route.But didn't help.His Fazil directed movie 'Mose n cat' was a flop. Even the hit director of Malayalam, Siddique with his Dileep starrer 'Bodyguard' failed in the boxoffice!. All those so called hits were multi-starrers.These flms had Mohan Lal and Jayaram besides him.His best buddy-directed 'Spanish Masala' was a disappointment.
In the end of 2011,we saw a 'something' different film, 'Vellaripravinte changathi',but it didn't become a big hit.But some movie critics rated the movie as one of the best in 2011 for its sincere approach.But 2012 starts with a hope for the fans of Dileep and comedy movies.The reason is 'mayamohini'.
It's not the first time Dileep experimenting with physical appearence in movies.He has Ezharakoottam,Kunjikoonan,Chakkaramuthu,Chanthupottu in his account.

We have seen Kamal Hasan experimenting with his physique in Tamil movies.If I can say this, Dileep is a little kamal in Malayalam in that manner.None of his experimenting roles are super human.They were simple and natural.In Chanthupottu,he acted as Radha(krishnan), a transgender. His Vimal Kumar or Kunjan from Kunjikoonan is the one i liked most.

Now he is back as Mayamohini.It's not the first time a male actor playing a female role in Malayalam cinema.Adoor Bhasi, the yesteryear comedian/character artist of Malayalam did these kind of roles in those days.Kalabhavan Mani had done a female/transgender role in 'Nalacharitham nalam khandam' Indian cinema have seen many male actors playing female roles several times. But here the difference is ,Mayamohini is the lead character.According to the promos,Dileep acting as real girl!(have to see the movie to know the truth).But it's more than just a fancy dress.I hope so and wish Dileep all success for his latest film.
