best
known
for

police
officer
roles.
Less
often
we
have
seen
him
on-screen
as
a
politician/minister
or
a
social
worker.
Here
we
list
5
films
in
which
we
saw
the
actor
wearing
a
politician's
hat.
Janadhipathyam
(1997)
Interestingly,
this
film
had
the
actor
in
both
cop
and
minister
roles.
Suresh
Gopi
played
R
D
Nayanar
IPS,
who
turns
to
be
a
politician
after
certain
events
that
startles
his
career
and
life.
The
film
was
a
big
success
at
the
box
office.

the
role

Of
Industries
of
the
State,
who
gets

in
a
scandal.
The
film
didn't
fetch
good
reviews
and
failed
at
the
box
office.
Rashtram
(2006)
Rashtram
directed
by
Anil
C
Menon
did
feature
Suresh
Gopi
in
the
role
of
Maliyekkal
Thommi,

goes
on
to

big
budget
film

role
of
Sidharthan,
the
youthwing
leader
of
a
party.

jailed
by
his
enemies
and
how
he
takes
revenge
on

forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
Sathyaprathinja
(1992)
This
film
starring
actor
Murali
had
Suresh
Gopi
in
a
supportive
role.
The
actor
played
the
role
of
a
comrade
named
Sreedharan,
a
social
worker
who
stands
for
the
people.
The
actor,
rose
to
stardom
with
his
police
officer
roles
in
films.
Films
like
Ekalavyan
and
Commissioner
had
the
actor
in
ideal
cop
roles,
which
made
him
a
superstar.
The
team
of
Suresh
Gopi-
Shaji
Kailas-Renji
panikker
became
much
popular
through
the
political
thrillers
they
gave
to
the
Malayalam
Cinema.
The
iconic
character
Bharathchandran
IPS
from
the
film
Commissioner,
paved
him
way
for
a
comeback
to
cinema
in
the
year
2006,
through
the
film
directed
by
Renji
Panikker.
Interestingly,
in
most
of
his
police
based
films,
the
character
played
by
the
actor
could
be
seen
taking
on
the
politicians.
Suresh
Gopi's
latest
release
was
My
God
directed
by
M
Mohanan.
The
film
which
released
in
the
year
2015
garnered
good
reviews
but
failed
to
take
off
at
the
box
office.
