What was Mammootty movie Thoppil Joppan’s first title?

Megastar Mammootty’s Thoppil Joppan was released on October 7th during the Pooja holidays along with Mohanlal’s much expected big budget movie Pulimurugan.

Thoppil Joppan was a light hearted entertainer directed by Johny Antony. The movie got good initial response and is still running in theatres in Kerala.

Mammootty in a recent interview in a TV channel, has said that Thoppil Joppan was not the title they had planned earlier.

Thoppil Joppan was not the initial character name of Mammootty. Lead heroine’s name was also changed later. They had planned a title with both their character names.

Bobanum Moliyum was the title the makers initially had on mind. Mammootty’s character name was planned as Thoppil Boban. Annie’s initial name was Moli. But the makers were apprehensive about the copy rights issues. Bobanum Moliyum is a famous comic in Kerala.

So they decided to change the name from Bobanum Moliyum to Thoppil Boban. But finally they decide to name the movie Thoppil Joppan.

Many scripts were considering before committing Thoppil Joppan. A script based on an American NRI’s return to Kerala was discussed. But was later dropped.

Another script on a dance club bouncer was also discussed. It was the life of a 45 year old who was working in Dubai. The script did not have enough depth, so did not materialize.

Finally Mammootty zeroed in on the comedy entertainer Thoppil Joppan. The movie was written by Nishad Koya of Ordinary and Madhuranaranga fame.

Thoppil Joppan was produced by Noushad Alathoor under his banner Grande Film Corporation.
