JB Junction: Prathap Pothen - Part 1 | 11th January 2015 | Full Episode

In this edition of JB Junction, watch an interview with actor-director Pratap K Pothen. He talks about his father Joseph Pothen Kulathunkal, a Marxist who was excommunicated from the Church. Interestingly, he was one of the founders of the Kerala Congress and was responsible for bringing down the Communist Government with his participation in the Vimochana Samaram or Liberation Struggle. Pratap reveals how he also brought down the R Sankar Government. R Shankar was a Congressman and the third Chief Minister of Kerala, and a letter from him asking Joseph Pothen for a Mercedes-Benz somehow leaked to The Blitz, a scandal sheet. Joseph Pothen later moved over to the Communist Party and was its first Treasurer in Kerala. Pratap lost his father at the age of 15, but never really experienced his father's love as he was sent away to Lawrence School, Ooty, a boarding school, at a tender age. Pratap says that he enjoyed the lush greenery of the 750-acre campus that the school was located on. Pratap also talks about he was spotted by Bharathan while he was essaying the lion in 'Androcles and the Lion', at a time when he was associated with Girish Karnad. He worked with Bharathan in 'Aaravam' (1978), and also recalls working with Balu Mahendra in his movie 'Azhiyatha Kolangal' (1979), with which he made his Tamil debut. He was also a good singer, and Ilayaraja-composed songs were his favourite.
