Nirnayam,
the
Mohanlal
starrer,
which
released
in
the
year
1995,
was
a
kind
of
an
attempt,
which
was
entirely
new
to
Malayalam
cinema.
The
film,
directed
by
Sangeeth
Sivan,
was
a
perfect
revenge
tale
with
some
really
thrilling
moments
in
it.
The
film
narrated
the
story
of
Dr.
Roy
(Mohanlal),
who
has
been
accused
of
killing
his
wife.
How
he
comes
out
of
the
trap
and
finds
the
orihinal
culprit
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
In
fact,
Nirnayam
still
stands
as
one
of
the
most
underrated
movies
of
Mohanlal.
This
Mohanlal
starrer
was
based
on
a
Hollywood
movie,
but
that
doesn't
take
anything
away
from
this
brilliant
film.
What
if
Nirnayam
is
remade
now?
The
plot
of
the
film
is
quite
relevant
even
now
and
moreover,
such
kind
of
movies
are
appreciated
more,
nowadays.
If
so,
who
all
are
the
perfect
options
to
replace
Mohanlal,
Heera
Rajagopal
and
others,
in
such
a
remake.
In
This
week's
Past
To
Present,
we
discuss
about
this
interesting
scenario.
Prithviraj
As
Dr.
Roy
Dr.
Roy,
the
character
which
was
portrayed
exceedingly
well
by
Mohanlal
in
the
original
will
be
a
challenging
role
for
any
of
the
young
actors.
We
feel
that
Prithviraj
is
one
such
present
generation
actor,
who
can
do
complete
justice
to
this
particular
role,
in
case
of
a
remake.
The
young
actor
will
perfectly
fit
in
to
the
role
of
a
doctor.
Miya
As
Dr.
Annie
The
role
of
Dr
Annie,
wife
of
Dr.
Roy
holds
due
importance
in
the
film.
If
it
was
Heera
Rajagopal
in
the
original,
Miya
would
be
the
perfect
replacement
for
the
actress,
in
case
a
remake
of
this
film
happens.
Miya
is
a
talented
actress
and
she
can
pull
off
this
role
with
ease.
Anoop
Menon
As
Commissioner
Javed
Khan
It
was
Lalu
Alex
who
portrayed
the
role
of
this
clever
police
officer
in
the
original.
Anoop
Menon
will
be
the
apt
selection
for
such
a
role
in
case
of
a
possible
remake.
Anoop
Menon
and
Prithviraj
in
a
cat
and
mouse
game
would
definitely
be
a
treat
to
watch.
Vijay
Babu
As
Dr.
Menon
This
particular
character
is
the
surprise
package
of
the
film.
Dr.
Menon,
the
real
antagonist
of
the
story,
was
safe
in
the
hands
of
actor
Devan.
At
present,
we
feel
that
Vijay
Babu
can
be
the
best
choice
for
this
role
and
his
casting
would
definitely
do
a
lot
good
to
maintain
that
surprise
element
in
the
movie.
Aju
Varghese
As
Dr
V.D
Iyer
Dr.
Iyer
is
one
of
the
colleagues
of
Dr.
Roy.
This
particular
character
does
give
some
comic
relief
in
the
due
course
of
narration
of
the
story.
If
a
remake
happend,
Aju
Varghese
is
undoubtedly
the
first
choice
for
this
particular
role.
Be
it
the
frames
set
by
Santhosh
Sivan
or
the
clinical
performance
of
Mohanlal,
Nirnayam
showcased
some
real
treasurable
moments
on
the
screen.
In
fact,
the
film
didn't
get
the
success
that
it
deserved
at
the
box
office.
