Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol,
the
Mohanlal-Meena
starring
family
entertainer
has
impressed
both
the
audiences
and
critics.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
popular
daily,
director
Jibu
Jacob
revealed
an
interesting
fact
about
the
movie.
Anniyamma,
the
role
played
by
Meena
in
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol
was
initially
offered
to
the
popular
Bollywood
actress
Vidya
Balan.
The
National
award-winning
actress
was
highly
impressed
with
the
script
and
keen
to
share
the
screen
with
Mohanlal.
But,
Vidya
Balan
couldn't
sign
the
project
due
to
the
unavailability
of
the
dates.
Later,
the
team
decided
to
rope
in
Meena
for
the
role
of
Anniyamma,
considering
her
great
onscreen
chemistry
with
Mohanlal,
and
the
pair's
popularity
among
the
audiences.
However,
director
Jibu
Jacob
was
reluctant
to
cast
the
actress,
as
he
felt
that
it
could
be
repetitive
if
the
movie
featured
the
Drishyam
pair.
However,
producer
Sophia
Paul
and
writer
Sindhuraj
later
convinced
him
to
cast
Meena
opposite
Mohanlal.
However,
Mohanlal
and
Meena
once
again
created
magic
on
silver
screen
with
their
amazing
onscreen
chemistry.
Meena
once
again
proved
that
she
is
undoubtedly
one
of
the
best
leading
ladies
who
has
associated
with
the
complete
actor.
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol,
on
the
other
hand,
is
performing
extremely
well
at
the
box
office
and
has
already
been
declared
as
a
blockbuster.
The
movie
will
soon
be
remade
in
Telugu,
with
actor
Venkatesh
reprising
Mohanlal's
role.
