“There is no similarity between Kinnari and me. He had given Megha’s character the name of his best friend. Kinnari was Chemban’s close friend in Bengaluru. Actor Chemban Vinod who is also the script writer of the movie had worked in Bengaluru for a while. In Bheemante Vazhi, Megha plays the role of a railway engineer who hails from Karnataka. Megha says that the veteran actor is an amazing human being and was comfortable to work with.
She confesses that she was tensed to act alongside a senior artist like Kunchacko Boban who has been in the industry for over two decades. Megha says it is incredible that Kunchacko Boban looks the same then and now. She recalls watching Aniyathipravu on television as a kid. On Saturdays and Sundays, she would keep switching channels to watch two Malayalam movies at the same time. Unlike these days, not many Malayalam films made it to the big screens in Delhi and TV had been the major source for watching movies.
It was only then that I came to know that Chackochan, Chemban Vinod and Gireesh Gangadharan were part of this movie,” recalls Megha.ĭuring her childhood, television was the only means to watch Malayalam movies as she and her family were settled in Delhi. There is an emotional phone conversation between Bheeman and Kinnari. He then called me again in November and narrated the story.
But there wasn’t any communication for some time after that. I was thrilled to become part of a movie directed by a talented filmmaker like him. However, he didn’t tell me about the other cast members of the movie. He had called when Megha hadn’t committed any other works due to the pandemic situation. In 2020 September, Ashraf Hamsa called Megha and asked whether she would be free in December that year.
