I have deliberately tried to do a variety of roles during my career so that people aren't bored of me. I also believe I have never prompted my directors or my audience to say that I have let them down with my performance. Maybe that's what has worked for me.

You will have to take up responsibility in multiple areas as a lead actor. Let's say, I don't have that capacity.

Biju Menon

Malayalis tend to be nostalgic about rustic storylines, pastoral themes and ordinary folk who lead a simple way of life.

Biju Menon

I like serious films and earlier used to do only such films.

Biju Menon

At one stage of my film career, between 2007 and 2010, I had taken up many projects where I played the role of a police officer. Later, I deliberately took a decision to not do any police roles. Since then I've been growing my hair and beard so that I'm not roped in for any such roles.

Biju Menon

I don't like posting my opinion on social media and responding to controversies that might follow.

Biju Menon

As I enjoy making knick knacks out of wood, I visit my friend's workshop to craft them.

Biju Menon

It's not that I don't like starring as the hero, it's more of a mental block that prevents me from doing so.

Biju Menon

People tell me, 'It's not on par with Vellimoonga,' after watching my movies.

Biju Menon

It was Benny P Nayarambalam who first cast me in a character which made people laugh, in 'Marykkundoru Kunjadu.' Then 'Seniors' happened, followed by 'Ordinary' and 'Romans.' They were all commercially successful films and so I kept getting such roles.

Biju Menon

Playing character roles gives me the freedom to try out different roles, including negative ones or elderly ones. When one is playing the lead role, clearly there are limitations and responsibilities.

Biju Menon

I come from a middle class family and I am not overambitious.

Biju Menon

I never feel insecure about my career because I believed that in some way or other, good things come to you. This might be the only reason that I never take pride in stardom or a celebrity status.

Biju Menon

Yes, people used to recognise me even during the initial days of my career as I am an actor. But now they have started approaching me with a smile and share their happiness with me. This change is all because of my humorous roles.

Biju Menon

I never had an issue working as a second hero.

Biju Menon

I like to do realistic films as well as sensible humourous subjects, just because I think these films are only capable to attract people to the theatres. Though I agree that serious movies are also good and I like to watch them, it is a fact that majority of the people are hesitant to go to theatres for those films.

Biju Menon

I think an actor should portray all kinds of emotions in films.

Biju Menon

When audience expect only humorous roles from me, my roles will become cliche and predictable.

Biju Menon

Vellimoonga' works at the box office because there is an inherent honesty to the film. Nothing about the movie has been exaggerated; it's a comedy that is clean and maintains a certain standard that harks back to Malayalam cinema's past.

Biju Menon

There is no point in performing in a film with a weak subject.

Biju Menon

After watching movies like Sajeev Pazhoor's 'Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum' and G Prajith's 'Oru Vadakkan Selfie,' I had wished to be part of such films.
