Veteran actor Balan K Nair was the face of antagonism in the Malayalam movie. Movies of that era featuring Nair came with an unavoidable rape scene where the actor used to give his all. Nair, considered a legend of the industry, was the polar opposite of his on-screen version in real life. An amicable family man who carried great rapport with his colleagues.

Balan K Nair is back again in discussion after Tamil actress Maya recently revealed in an interview her experiences sharing scenes with the actor for Malayalam movie ‘Moorkhan’.

MAYA:

“There was a Malayalam actor named Balan K Nair. He makes rape scenes appear real. He will run riot after the director shouts action. I had to share screen with him for such a scene, and Nair was wild. The expressions of fear that ran through my face were real. His nails ran through my back, and it bruised me badly. It was a famous movie with actor Jayan in the lead. I wondered how this actor was given a free run, but that was his style of acting.

I like the mollywod industry very much. People are well-behaved and are not nosy. Never did anyone misbehave with me in Malayalam movie industry.”

The anchor made a countenance of disbelief when Maya revealed what she went through in those scenes in the movie.
