Is it curtains down the Thilakan controversy?

By O.J.George

Super- star Mammootty speaking in a calm and composed manner about the Thilakan issue and about Dr Sukumar Azhicode’s reaction to Super-star Mohanlal appears to be heralding a solution to the problem.

Mammootty would have consulted AMMA before making the announcement that the association is callig a halt to public controversy.

Thilakan issue would be sorted out by AMMA, and Thilakan would have the freedom to explain his position at his convenience.

Dr Sukumar Azhicode has also expressed his willingness to stop the wordy duels. No one can equal Azhicode in the war of words. Literary, cultural and artistic personalities should not show their weak points in public.

Their larger-than-life image would be tarnished on account of public spats. Already, the fans of various heroes have started war-like campaigns struggling to protect their semi-Gods. For them, the make-belief world is their real world. Nobody can deter them.

Therefore, it is in the fitness of things that the persons concerned bury their hatchets and offer a conducive atmosphere for fun and frolicking. The film field should be an entertainment to the people and not a forum for tension creation.
The people concerned are all veterans and they should behave most benevolently. All the best for them.
