People
usually
expect
something
ridiculous
from
comedian
Salim
Kumar,
but
by
his
splendid
performance
as
a
character
actor
in
Lal
Jose's
Achanurangatha
Veedu
(2006),
he
has
proved
he
is
not
all
laughs
and
slapstick
comedy.
Although
the
film
didn't
pull
in
the
crowds,
it
was
appreciated
for
its
presentation
and
the
artistes'
performance.
Salim
Kumar
also
won
the
Kerala
State
film
award
for
the
second
best
actor
for
portraying
Samuel,
a
widower
with
three
young
daughters,
a
government
employee
on
the
verge
of
retirement.
After
his
impressive
performance
in
Achanurangatha
Veedu,
many
filmmakers
have
approached
Salim
Kumar
for
the
title
roles
in
their
films,
but
Salim
Kumar
continues
to
be
a
comedy
actor
in
great
demand.
Now,
Salim
Kumar
is
back
again
as
hero
in
Light,
to
be
directed
by
debutant
Devaprasad.
He
will
be
appearing
as
Raman
Parayan,
who
later
becomes
a
communist
following
his
bonding
with
a
communist
leader
who
lives
in
hideouts.
The
movie
will
have
him
in
two
getups,
as
a
youth
aged
34
and
then,
as
a
veteran
aged
84.
Light
will
also
have
Jagathy
Sreekumar,
Kalabhavan
Mani,
M.R.
Gopakumar
and
Ranjusha
in
other
important
roles.
The
film,
produced
under
the
banner
Mindoff
creations,
will
be
cinematographed
by
Lalkannan
and
will
start
its
shoot
soon.
