Malayalam Music Composer Ramesh Narayan Faces Backlash For Refusing To Take Award From Actor Asif Ali - WATCH
Malayalam music composer Ramesh Narayan is currently facing significant backlash online after a video surfaced showing him allegedly refusing to accept an award from actor Asif Ali. The incident occurred during the trailer launch of the upcoming Malayalam anthology "Manorathangal." At the event, the cast and crew members were being honoured with mementos, and it was Asif Ali's role to present one to Ramesh Narayan.
According to various media reports, when Asif Ali stepped forward to present the award, Ramesh Narayan's unexpected reaction left many stunned. In the video, Asif Ali approaches Ramesh Narayan, ready to present the award for his contribution as a composer for a segment of the anthology directed by Jayaraj. However, Ramesh declined to accept the award from Asif, instead calling upon veteran filmmaker Jayarajan Nair to do the honors. Despite some initial hesitation, Jayarajan Nair complied and presented the memento to Ramesh Narayan.
This incident quickly went viral, with netizens expressing their disapproval of Ramesh Narayan's behavior. One user commented, "Ramesh Narayan refuses to take the award from #AsifAli. Very poor etiquette from him. Asif kept his happy demeanour despite the snub." Another user added, "Ramesh Narayan the Music Director stubbornly wanted to receive the award from his director Jayaraj. However, he should have requested the same to organizers rather than disrespecting Asif by not even having eye-contact."
The reactions continued, with another comment stating, "So disrespectful... Asif being so sensitive a person might have felt it." An angry user wrote, "It was totally disrespectful, that too from an experienced old man. There is a basic thing called respect which people forget when they reach high levels. Shame on you, Ramesh Narayan."
Some self said intellectuals have this kind of attitudes in them, they cant take awards from mainstream people.

Disguisting behaviour.
While this controversy unfolds, anticipation continues to build for the upcoming anthology "Manorathangal," directed by MT Vasudevan Nair. The anthology features an impressive lineup of nine films, starring prominent actors such as Mammootty, Mohanlal, Fahadh Faasil, Kamal Haasan, Parvathy Thiruvothu, and Madhoo, among others. Scheduled for release on an OTT platform in multiple languages on August 15, the anthology promises to be a significant cinematic event.
The incident involving Ramesh Narayan has sparked a broader conversation about professionalism and respect within the industry. While Ramesh Narayan’s contributions to music are well-regarded, his recent actions have drawn criticism, emphasizing the importance of courtesy and decorum in public and professional settings. As the release date of "Manorathangal" approaches, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact the perception of the film and its associated talents.
