Veteran actor and filmmaker Lal has sparked a conversation in the Malayalam film industry with his recent remarks about legendary actor 's on-set improvisations. Lal shared his concerns over Jagathy's spontaneous additions during filming a sequence. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He called such practice problematic and potentially unfair to co-actors. Lal made his comment in an interview given to Saina Plus during the promotions of the web series 'Kerala Crime Files'. Improvising without warning is unprofessional, says Lal Lal stated that Jagathy Sreekumar was known for unexpectedly inserting dialogues or gestures during a scene, without prior discussion with the director. While many regard this as a mark of talent or brilliance, Lal asserted that it should not be encouraged. 'It is not a good practice.

He added, "And when that happens, the co-actor looks weak while the other actor seems to shine — but the truth is, one has succeeded at the cost of the other's failure. " "That's not a good habit" Lal emphasized that the integrity of a scene lies in collective effort and mutual respect among actors. Lal remaked, 'This idea of adding something spontaneously and calling it brilliance — that's not a good habit,'. Meanwhile, the iconic actor Jagathy is all set to play a pivotal role in the upcoming sci-fi film 'Vala.
