Prithviraj Sukumaran's statement

Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran appears in a cameo role as the character Kunjambu Nambiar Pattelar in the movie.As reported by On Manorama, he shared insights about the role and its background in a recent press meet."It’s purely fate that brings certain roles and movies to us. Screenwriter Suresh told me about Kunjambu Nambiar Pattelar 16 or 17 years ago. Gold deposits were discovered in Wayanad at the end of the 19th century, and more than 35 British mining companies set up operations there.

This was long before the Banasurasagar dam was built. Kunjambu, the adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, grew up to be their trusted lieutenant and earned the title Pattelar.

"Prithviraj further shared, "The movie depicted how Kunjambu ruled over their mining empire. However, the scale of the film demanded large sets to recreate 19th-century Wayanad and the mining operations, which was beyond the financial reach of Malayalam cinema at the time.

So, the movie and character remained a dream. Years later, Dijo brought Pallichattambi to life, and he and Suresh explained how Kunjambu Pattelar’s story could be seamlessly woven into the narrative of the movie, which is set during the liberation struggle.

I was fascinated by how the story I’d heard 17 years ago fit perfectly into the film. I’m truly happy to play a cameo in a movie in which my close friend, Tovino, plays the lead. The audience can learn about the historical significance of this character and incident online, and it’s great to be part of a role with such deep historical roots"DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
