There
was
criticism
against
Sureshgopi's
latest
cop
tale
Ayudham
directed
by
Nishad,
saying
veteran
actor
Thilakan's
role
as
a
Chief
Minister
(Madhavan)
in
the
film
is
strikingly
similar
to
Kerala
Chief
Minister
V.S.
Achuthanandan
in
style
and
flavour
and
the
actor
has
mimicked
the
Communist
leader.
However,
Thilakan
denied
these
allegations
and
said
during
a
meet-the-press
programme
at
the
Thiruvananthapuram
Press
Club
on
Sunday
that
the
resemblance
of
his
character
to
V.S.
Achuthanandan
in
the
movie
was
unintentional.
He
said
that
he
was
just
playing
a
Chief
Minister"s
role.
"Mimicry
is
an
insult.
I
am
an
actor.
I
have
only
played
the
role
of
the
Chief
Minister
in
the
movie.
Since
I
have
not
been
a
Chief
Minister
myself,
I
learned
by
observing
the
style
and
mannerisms
of
V.S.
on
TV,
so
it
is
possible
some
of
his
characteristic
style
has
influenced
my
character
in
the
movie," Thilakan
said.
Director
Nishad
was
also
present
in
the
meet
to
respond
to
queries
from
the
newspersons.
