Nivin Pauly: “Two days ago we were filming together as father and son in Roshan Andrews’ self-titled film. It was a great experience and honor to work with Pratap sir. We spent some quality time talking about cinema and about lockdowns. When he left he called and said goodbye and shared his happiness in the collaboration and wished me the best of luck. I never thought his goodbye would be the last. I will always remember him for his innocent smile, twinkling eyes and kind words.”
Malayalam Film Industry Remembers Pratap Pothen
Priyamanic: “Unfortunately, I have only worked with him in one Malayalam film. But I learned so much from him!! Such a great actor and great person!! His thoughts on movies as they were in its heyday and now. He was also a nice person to talk to! ! He had a very dry sense of humor. At least that’s what I thought.”
Result Pookutty: “I remember him for two movies in my early days, one Bharathan’s Thakara. What a great performance in that movie… Actually he became this one face that never leaves you Truck and chamaram Fresh in my mind is this teenage love story he made, recorded in Lovedale, called Daisy, it was all the rage for us… So Pratap Pothen as a name and talent etched in our memory forever, although these films though he mostly worked in Tamil. We were really in touch and he was very proud of me and my achievements as we were both from Trivandrum. I was lucky enough to work with him in a Tamil movie called Remo. We talked about working on a movie together, but now that he’s gone, all those plans have been brushed aside. He was an ever enthusiastic child, he always had that childlike curiosity when you met and talked to him. Although he came back in Malayalam films with negative roles in the new Gen Cinema, he will always be remembered to me as a romantic, a smile that refuses to leave us.”
Sanjay-Bobby: “A single word to Dr. To describe Samuel van Ayaalum Njanum Thammil would be ‘divine’. That’s what we were looking for when we were casting for the movie. It was director Lal Jose who suggested Mr Prathap Pothen for the role. And he made the character what it deserved: divine. Later he also did a cameo in our ‘Uyare’. Prathap sir was a very honest and sincere man who possessed childlike innocence. He will be missed…. He was an open, sincere and flamboyant person. There was something very sweet about him. We first met in 2012. But from the very first minute itself we became good friends. That was his magnanimity.”
Geetu Mohandas: “I worked with Pratap’s uncle when I was a child artist in Onnu Mudal Poojyam Vare. I played his daughter. I was 4. Since then until recently when we met, he called me ‘my child’. There was so much warmth about him and a brilliant, witty spirit. He will be deeply missed.”
