Mohanlal won the National Award in 1999 for his stunning performance as the Kathakali artist Kunhi Kuttan in Vanaprastham.

Though their have friendship have lasted for over 30 years, it was only in 2010 that they acted together for the first time. Chakri Toleti’s Unnaipol Oruvan, the official remake of Wednesday was the first time they shared screen space with each other.
