Suresh Gopi: Superstars have a responsibility

When two superstars come together for a film, the usual expectation is that of fireworks – not only onscreen, but off it too – thanks to the collision of egos. However, Mollywood’s action king Suresh Gopi says he is alien to such superiority complexes.
The actor, who is sharing screen space with Mammootty in The King and the Commissioner, says, “I admire Mammootty as an actor and I have no issues sharing the screen with him.We both have our own space in the industry and respect that.”
Suresh, who will also be seen along Mohanlal in Raajavinte Makan later this year, says, “I don’t believe there is a need for a first among equals when it comes to the industry’s top actors.” However, he insists that superstars have a responsibility towards the public. Hinting that sometimes, larger-than-life roles insult a viewer’s intelligence, he says, “A lot of people consider the actors as their role models and look up to them for guidance. When your decision affects the lives of others, you have to learn to live up to the responsibility.”
