Jerry Amaldev about Mohanlal.

"The location was at the famous Astoria Hotel, in Kodaikkanal. I was with Paachi (Sri. Fazil, Malayalam Film Director), when this 20 year old rough, rugged looking lad, the antagonist, canned his first shot for the movie 'Manjil Virinja Pookkal'.

'I am Narendran...' This was the starting of the dialogue. All it took was a single take, and seeing the fire in his eyes, we all knew a star was born. My association with Lalu (Sri. Mohanlal , Actor) goes back to 31 long years. He has grown through the years to be the most celebrated natural actor the country has ever produced.

I never expected him to attend the Audio CD release of 'Jerry Amaldev Foundation' here at JT Pac. He took his time off from his assignments, and sat through the evening. That itself is the biggest standing ovation for me. I was moved to tears, with his gesture. When he touched my feet for blessings. I felt I had the World at my feet. Even the Legends are mortal. But the human in Lalu-will stay immortal." - Jerry Amaldev (Music Director)
