Son of late actor Zainuddin, Zinil is taking wings in the Malayalam film industry. With his latest film Parava, he wishes to create an identity of his own, veering away from the shadow of his illustrious father. Read on to know more.

Parava is your fourth movie, in which you are doing a main role. How did you bag this project?

I know Soubin ikka quite closely. He has seen me take part in mimicry shows on TV, so perhaps he found me apt to handle the character in Parava. After acting in this film, I felt like I have done 100 films…that’s the kind of experience I had. It is a great feeling.

Parava is a big undertaking compared to your other movies. With Anwar Rasheed’s production and Soubin Shahir’s directorial debut, Parava is quite special. What was the experience like for you?

I am extremely grateful to be a part of Parava. Soubin ikka gave us all a lot of freedom. The entire shoot went very well. Also I consider myself extremely fortunate to have got the opportunity to work with Anwar ikka.

How was your preparation for Parava?

In this film, there are two stages in the life of my character Sharafuddin – one is when I was fat and the next when I become thin. I had to lose weight in two weeks no matter what. I used to get up by 3.30am and walk from Padivattom to Highcourt and walk back in the evening. Also, I had received a few injuries while doing stunt scenes, but I was so passionate about this film that I did not care about the pain.

How was it working with Dulquer Salman?

I have met Dulquer when I was very young; and he gave me chocolates then. After that, it was on the sets of Parava that I met him next. He is a very good person at heart. Sometimes, when we used to have early morning shoots, he used to ask me to do mimicry in order to fend off sleep. It was fun working with him. He is a real down-to-earth person.

What are your other interests?

I am interested in music and I write scripts for short films.

I like Hitler, Mimics Parade, Alancheri Thamprakal, Innathe Programme. Even now I sit and laugh watching his movies, but I still miss him and that hurts deep inside.

Who is your favourite actor?

Fahad Fazil.
