Shanthi Krishna plays Kunchacko Boban’s fun mom in Kuttanadan Marpapa

Popular yesteryear actress Shanthi Krishna made her comeback after a long gap of nearly two decades with Nivin Pauly’s Njandukalude Naatil Oridavela (NNOI). Her performance as Sheela Chacko, the cancer affected mother-of-three won her a lot of appreciation from the critics as well as the common audience. After the overwhelmingly positive reviews for NNOI, the veteran actress is now getting a lot of solid offers in the industry.

She is currently working in Kunchacko Boban’s upcoming movie Kuttandan Marpapa. Shanthi Krishna plays Chackochan’s mother in the movie, but her character here is extremely in contrast to what she essayed in NNOI. It is a jovial character with a lot of funny one-liners.

In a recent interview, Kunchacko Boban said that Shanthi Krishna was initially quite apprehensive about pulling off such a character but she eventually has done a great job. Her character runs a ration shop in the film and shares a lot of screen space with Dharmajan Bolgatty.

Kuttanadan Marpapa is a fun filled entertainer which marks the directorial debut of cinematographer-turned-filmmaker Sreejith Vijayan. Alamara fame Aditi Ravi plays Kunchacko Boban’s love interest in this movie which also stars Aju Varghese, Salim Kumar, Innocent and Ramesh Pisharody in major supporting roles.
