Biju Menon has time and again surprised audiences with his choice of roles. But the actor himself was taken aback when cinematographer Sanu John Varughese chose to cast him as a 73-year-old in his directorial début, Aarkkariyam (meaning Who knows?). The movie, also starring Parvathy Thiruvothu and Sharafudheen, is scheduled for release on April 1. In an interview with MetroPlus, Biju talks about the challenges involved in playing the character and looks back at his choice of roles. Edited excerpts:
