Alencier Ley Lopez Takes a Dig at Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan’s Acting Styles

Malayalam actor Alencier Ley Lopez recently made headlines for his remarks about acting legends Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan. Speaking at a media interaction, Alencier, who had a minor role in Vettaiyan, shared his experience of working with the two iconic actors. He humorously noted that during his scene with them, he realized they “cannot act.”

Alencier recalled being flown to Mumbai for the shoot, where he was provided accommodation at a five-star hotel. He was only required to sit as a judge for one shot, with Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth on either side.

Reflecting on Rajinikanth’s larger-than-life action sequences, Alencier remarked, “During my pre-degree days, I have seen Rajini sir stopping the whirring blades of a helicopter with his bare teeth. So, I wanted to see how he acts in front of the camera.” He went on to describe how Rajinikanth performed his signature stylized acting, with an exaggerated body language, and Amitabh Bachchan’s powerful roars, leaving Alencier to react in shock.

Alencier concluded by saying, “I realized I couldn’t compete with them because I didn’t know enough stylized acting nor do I have a deep baritone. All I can do is perform in films made by the likes of Dileesh Pothan, Sharan Venugopal, and Rajeev Ravi. Also, I realized that they cannot act.”

Known for his role as Ittychan in Appan, Alencier’s candid comments have stirred some attention, shedding light on his contrasting acting approach compared to Bollywood legends.
