Actor
Jayasurya's
highly
acclaimed
film
Njan
Marykutty
has
today
(June
16)
completed
three
years
of
its
release.
Known
for
his
experimentation
with
roles
and
looks,
the
star
surprised
many
when
he
announced
the
film
back
in
2018.
For
the
unversed,
the
versatile
actor
played
the
role
of
a
transwoman
in
the
film
and
his
makeover
had
received
huge
appreciation
from
fans
and
celebrities
alike.
Well,
today,
recalling
his
experience
shooting
for
the
film
and
playing
a
totally
different
role
,
Jayasurya
revealed
that
the
first
three
days
of
shoot
were
difficult
for
him.
Taking
to
his
Instagram
handle,
the
actor
shared
that
he
is
grateful
as
the
character
still
resides
in
him.
He
wrote,
"Before
'Mary
Kutty'
I
was
confident
that
self
confidence
is
all
we
needed
to
play
a
character.
The
first
3
days
of
shoot
was
difficult,
to
say
the
least.
I
could
slowly
feel
my
self-confidence
wearing
off.
We
were
so
close
to
winding
up
shoot
because
I
couldn't
find
my
Marykutti.
We
decided
to
give
it
one
last
shot;
and
on
the
fourth
day,
I
surrendered.
Surrendered
because
how
does
one
play
a
character
like
her,
if
you
do
not
understand
her?
Surrendered
because
how
does
one
love
her,
if
you
are
not
confident
like
her?
I
cannot
explain
what
Mary
kutti
is
to
me,
but
I
am
forever
grateful
that
she
resides
in
me."

Along
