Dharmajan Bolgatty Breaks Silence About His Absence: Took No Break From Cinema, But Deliberately Left Out
Dharmajan Breaks Silence About His Absence From Cinema: Popular actor and stand-up comedian Dharmajan Bolgatty recently revealed that he did not voluntarily take a break from films.
Instead, he suspects that he was deliberately excluded from the industry, as he had not received any acting opportunities for a significant period of time.
In an interview with Milestone Makers, Dharmajan Bolgatty said that he did not reach out to anyone seeking acting opportunities, which might have contributed to his absence from the industry. He further noted that he is typically approached for roles that specifically demand his presence, and there are numerous actors in the industry who can act in his place if needed.
When asked about his prolonged absence from the film industry, Dharmajan, who was initially introduced to the industry by actor Dileep, expressed his belief that he had been deliberately excluded from the industry.
The actor further added that the initial gap in his career was caused by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, he emphasised that he has never reached out to anyone, pleading for roles throughout his entire life, which he believes could be another contributing factor. Despite this, he remains puzzled as to why he has not received any opportunities and remains in the dark regarding the reasons behind it.
Dharmajan, who gained fame alongside his friend Ramesh Pisharody as a beloved comedy duo among Malayalis, shared his perspective on the film industry, acknowledging that it is a domain where there are numerous alternatives for actors like himself. He noted that this was not the case in the past, but the landscape has since transformed.
Dharmajan recognised that there are capable actors who can step in if he is not available. He emphasised that he does not actively seek out roles and does not harbour any grievances about the situation. He also said that he is considering all he has gotten so far as a bonus.
The comedian, hailing from Mulavukad, an island near Kochi city, reflected on his journey, highlighting that he was born in a village and faced numerous challenges along the way. He began his career as a mimicry artist and performed in numerous stage shows before transitioning into film roles. Dharmajan emphasised that his progress was a gradual process.
Dharmajan expressed his gratitude towards Dileep, who played a pivotal role in introducing him to the film industry. Until now, he had refrained from personally seeking out roles. However, he acknowledged that actors like Jayasurya have shared their experiences of actively pursuing opportunities to secure notable roles.
Dharmajan speculated that his own character traits might have hindered him from approaching others for a chance. Moving forward, he recognised the need to proactively reach out to people for roles and expressed his determination to do so.
Dharmajan embarked on his Malayalam film journey with the movie Paappi Appacha (2010), where he portrayed the role of Dileep's driver sidekick. Subsequently, he appeared in numerous films, solidifying his position as a comedy actor. In 2021, the actor ventured into active politics and participated as a UDF candidate from the Balussery constituency in the recent assembly elections.
