Take a look at a facebook post that has been around after the ccl match of last sunday.
OK. You might wonder What is new?, as is your wont, If you happen to be among the umpteen mallu netizens on facebook who have been fed this and more in the past few months.
If this isnt part of a planned and systematic character assassination attempt,what is?.
Agreed Prithviraj has been abrasive,highbrowed to the extend of being arrogant and snobbish in many of his public appearances such as this interviw by John Brittas leading to the rajappan jokes that is viral today. On the contrary other stars of malayalam cinema portray themselves as if they are humble,down to earth and fawn before the audience. This ends up creating a false image before the audience.
Moral of the story is that Prithviraj too needs to learn the art of deception and create a false image of himself for the public to consume. Mallus dont like being hit in the face or being daring. They like being meek to the point of being self effacing. Loud voices are hushed up and we like to whisper instead. Hard truths are swept under carpet and we live in an illusory world. Welcome to Kerala.

What makes Prithvi the butt of all jokes is the way he presents himself. There are many other stars in the Malayalam film industry. Many much more experienced in the industry than our protagonist. And maybe as you have said they may be faking their humility, however the fact remains that they carry themselves around as a humble human being, thankful to all the people who made them as opposed to Prithvi who tries at every time to assert himself. Asserting oneself is no crime, however there are proper ways of doing so and not by saying 'njan' at every possible instance. As he keeps doing it, so will the jokes continue floating around.
