Lal Jose: 'He was a very smart boy': 'Rasikan' director Lal Jose remembers late actor Hari Murali Director Lal Jose reflected on the life and career of late actor Hari Murali, who passed away at the age of 27. Murali, known for his role as Dileep’s younger brother in the 2004 film Rasikan, was a child artist who left a lasting impression on those who worked with him. Speaking to Manorama Online, Lal Jose shared memories of Murali’s talent and personality. “After learning about his death, I felt extremely saddened. Hari was a very smart boy. During the shooting of Rasikan, he used to make the set lively with his jokes and curious questions,” the director recalled. Murali’s performance in the drama scene of Rasikan, which became a standout moment in the film, was a collaborative effort between Dileep and the young actor. Lal Jose noted that Dileep taught Murali the dialogues and helped him deliver the scene with precision. “At that time, he was very close to Dileep,” the director said. Murali’s career took off after Rasikan, leading to roles in over fifty films and telefilms. However, he eventually stepped away from acting to pursue other interests, including graphic design and writing. Lal Jose also shared a heartwarming anecdote about a chance encounter with Murali years after the film’s release. “About five or six months ago, I met him in Ernakulam. He approached me and said, ‘Uncle, do you recognize me?’ I told him no, and he introduced himself as Hari, the child artist from Rasikan,” the director recounted. The meeting left a deep impression on Lal Jose, who expressed his happiness at reconnecting with the actor. “Seeing him after so many years made me realize how old I’ve become,” he said. Murali, whose real name was Hari Murali, was the son of renowned theatre artist Murali Payyannur.#rasikan #hari_murali #lal_jose #dileep #manorama_online
