Now a report coming in that Oppam has a connection with Thalavattam which is one of the earlier movies done by this magical pair. What may be the connection between these two films..? Priyadarshan and Mohanlal went to Ootty to shoot some scenes of Oppam and they went there to shoot a film after 22 long years. Earlier they had shot films like Thalavattam, Kilukkam, Mithunam, Minnaram etc and all of them were super successful as well. They went there 30 years before to shoot a song sequence in the film named Thalavattam and Mohanlal wanted to shoot a scene in Oppam which will make everyone remember about Thalavattam.

So, they shot a sequence at Ootty for Oppam where they shot a song sequence of Thalavattam 30 years back. They recreated the evergreen super hit song from Thalavattam starting with the lines “Ponveene..” for Oppam there at Ootty. Mohanlal and Lissy acted in that song sequence in Thalavattam and now in Oppam, child artist Meenakshi had acted with Mohanlal in the recreated sequence. Priyadarshan said that they set the same frame using the same lens to film the recreated scenes of that song, for Oppam. He said that the location has not changed a bit, but only they had changed with time. The place is as beautiful as it was before.
