MetroPlus asks six newsmakers from Kerala what is the one change they would like to see in 2023.
As we reach the fag end of 2022, it is time to look ahead and peer into what the New Year holds for us. Apart from resolutions made and unmade, many of us nurse hopes for changes that we wish to see in the New Year. People who have made a name in different fields talk about their vision for 2023
(Actor-director)
The techie-turned-filmmaker won laurels as an actor and moved centrestage in two films that showcased his acting chops — Palthu Janwar and Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey. He also won the Asian Academy Creative Award for the best director for his Tovino-starrer Minnal Murali.
“Hard work and dedication to my work did yield results in 2022. The sequel to Minnal Murali may have to wait as I am planning another film to direct. I have been working back to back on several projects and was unable to spend enough time with my family. I hope to strike a healthy work-life balance next year and make time for my family.
If there is one change that is sorely needed in Kerala, that must be a drastic improvement in the state of our roads. Good roads are a necessity and we really have a long way to go when it comes to roads that are in good shape.”
