19 years back it was Shalini and now it’s her sister Shamili, but Kuchacko Boban remains the same
On this coming Vishu season, a Mollywood film is all set to grace the screens and it is titled as Valliyum Thetti Pulliyum Thetti. The film is directed by debutant director Rishi Siva Kumar. But the real highlight of the film is the star pair in it. The male lead of the film is Kunchacko Boban and the female lead of the film is Shamili, the sister of actress Shalini. Shamili is quite popular here as she had acted in many popular Malayalam movies as child artists and even won national recognition for her performance in the Tamil film Anjali as child artist.
Now, she is making her Mollywood debut as a heroine through this movie Valliyum Thetti Pulliyum Thetti. The most interesting thing in this debut is that Kunchacko Boban is her pair in this film. When her sister made her debut as heroine in Malayalam, through the film Aniyathi Pravu in 1997, Kunchacko Boban was her hero too in that film. It is a strange coincidence that both sisters had made their heroine debut with the same star and the gap between both films is 19 years. It shows the importance and longevity Kunchacko Boban have in this industry.
Shamili had acted in films like Malootty by Bharathan which had Jayaram in the lead, Pookkalam Varavayi by Kamal which also had Jayaram and her last appearance as child artist in Mollywood was indeed a big film. It was Harikrishnans by Fazil which had both Mohanlal and Mammootty in the lead. This will be her first film with Kunchacko Boban. When Kunchacko Boban was romancing her sister on screen, shamili was a kid. Now, when she is got ready to romance a hero on screen, Kunchacko Boban is there with the same youthful energy and looks.
The film also has artists like Renji Panicker, Manjo K Jayan, Saiju Kuruppu, Krishna Sankar, Aneesh G Menon, Midhun Nair, Suresh Krishna, Nandan Unni etc. The story of the film had set in 1990’s ’ and as per reports it revolves around a cinema theater as well.
