Kalamandalam Gopi in an interview with Raghu P on his contributions for coming generations

Whether my style in Kathakali should be followed or not – it is for the future generations of Kathakali artists to decide. It is not an emotional matter and I never insist on it. They can accept whatever they feel good. But it should never be imitating somebody. Imitation is very much there in nature. But everyone should go beyond that.
