Kalidas Jayaram Going The Extra Mile

It was his deep passion for films that led him to renowned film maker, Mani Ratnam’s office. With just a college degree and no recommendations, they rejected his request instantly but he wasn’t ready to quit just yet and fervently persisted. Soon they realised that this young chap is not giving up that easily and eventually, they agreed to take him in. He was so excited to be a part of the team that he zealously went about doing every single task assigned to him– irrespective of the nature of the job! In the process, he got to watch and work with his dream film maker at close quarters! Later, Superstar Jayaram happened to meet Mani Ratnam during one of his trips and he casually enquired about his son’s apprenticeship. It was only then that the film maker realised that it was young Kalidas Jayaram who had been working at his office but he had never even once mentioned his dad. That is Kalidas Jayaram for you – a thorough gentleman, down to earth and charmingly unassuming! RITZ has a candid chat with the handsome young star, who, after having bagged national awards as a child artist, is currently stealing the hearts of the South Indian audience just like his iconic father!

Spinning Her Magic!

Though she was brought up in Dubai, she has her roots firmly in Kerala thanks to her strong ‘Malayali’ upbringing. It was when she moved to Pune to pursue her studies that she began to explore films and slowly, she started falling in love with Cinema. Thus began her journey of self-discovery! While everyone expected her to do a Master’s in business management, they were in for a shock when she chose to go to the London Film School instead. Her family reluctantly agreed to let her follow her heart. It was during the convocation ceremony, that they watched her work on screen for the very first time and that’s when they realised that this was her deep passion and true calling. Since then they have been her strong source of support and strength. Her first tryst with Mollywood seemed like a nightmare, as her debut film ‘Manjadikuru’ met with struggles, delays and bias. But she didn’t give up! Soon she was ready with the script of Ustad hotel, which swept the state, national and international awards! With her next blockbuster, Bangalore Days, she had built a brand for herself! Anjali Menon, is a name that is the pride of Kerala today!

The 'Field' Man In Khakhi

It was not the proverbial silver spoon but the farmer's plough that he had to contend with in his early years. The son of a farmer M.C. Madhiah and a homemaker Sarojamma, attending school in rural Karnataka was an adventure. It meant walking several kilometres to the bus stand and climbing atop the jampacked vehicle because there would be not even a toe hold inside. For a student who studied in Kannada medium right upto his Masters and M Phil in History from Bangalore University and who had made a trip Delhi for the first time only in '92, on a Sleeper Class ticket by Karnataka Express, clearing the Civil Services Examination, first for a Group B Service and then the IPS in '96, was no mean task. Jayaram is quick to point out that his grandparents are from Tamil Nadu and he considers himself to be a son of Tamil soil. "After all, my native Kugramam is just 10 kilometres away from Tamil Nadu near Anchetty."

Crime & Punishment: Resolve Not Rage

When a crime shocks the collective conscience of society, that itself constitutes a ground for the harshest punishment - the death penalty. The social media has opened the floodgates for freedom of opinion, which makes these platforms a barometer of public sentiment. But is it informed opinion on display?
