Mazhayethum
Munpe,
the
1995-released
romantic
drama,
still
remains
as
one
of
the
most
appreciated
films
in
lead
actor
Mammootty's
career.
The
movie,
which
was
directed
by
the
senior
film-maker
Kamal,
was
scripted
by
Sreenivasan.
Mammootty
played
Nandakumar
Varma,
a
college
professor
in
the
movie,
which
had
Shobana
and
Annie
in
the
female
leads.
Mazhayethum
Munpe
had
Sreenivasan,
Sukumari,
Sankaradi,
NF
Varghese,
TP
Madhavan,
Manju
Pillai,
Praseetha
Menon,
etc.,
in
the
supporting
roles.
Here
we
list
the
names
of
the
actors,
whom
we
feel
are
the
perfect
choices
for
the
main
star
cast
if
Mazhayethum
Munpe
is
remade
now....
Prithviraj
as
Nandakumar
Varma
The
role
of
the
young,
strict
college
professor
who
unconditionally
loves
his
childhood
sweetheart
Uma,
but
finally
ends
up
marrying
his
much
younger
student
Shruti,
was
brilliantly
played
by
Mammootty
in
the
original.
If
the
movie
is
remade
now,
the
only
choice
for
the
role
is
Prithviraj.
Mamtha
Mohandas
as
Uma
Shobana
essayed
the
role
of
Uma,
Nandan's
childhood
sweetheart
who
decides
to
sacrifice
the
love
of
her
life
due
to
her
illness,
in
Mazhayethum
Munpe.
If
the
movie
is
remade
now,
Mamtha
Mohandas
will
be
a
good
choice
for
the
role.
Aparna
Balamurali
as
Shruti
Annie
delivered
her
career-best
performance
as
Shruti,
the
arrogant,
self-centered
college
student
who
falls
madly
in
love
with
her
professor.
If
Mazhayethum
Munpe
is
getting
remade
now,
Aparna
Balamurali
will
be
the
best
choice
for
the
role.
Suraj
Venjaramoodu
as
Rahman
Sreenivasan,
the
writer
himself
essayed
the
role
of
Rahman,
Nandan's
colleague
turned
best
friend
who
eventually
helps
him
to
reunite
with
Uma
and
his
daughter.
From
the
current
slot,
Suraj
Venjarammodu
will
be
the
best
choice
for
the
role.
Mukesh
as
Valappil
Kaimal
The
role
of
Valappil
Kaimal,
Shruti's
loving
father
who
always
supports
his
daughter's
decisions,
was
played
by
NF
Varghese
in
the
movie.
If
the
movie
is
being
remade
now,
the
character
will
be
safe
in
Mukesh's
hands.
Mazhayethum
Munpe,
which
was
produced
by
Madhavan
Nair
for
Murali
Films,
had
emerged
as
one
of
the
highest
grossing
films
of
1995.
The
Mammootty
starrer
also
earned
wide
appreciations
from
the
critics.
The
movie
bagged
several
popular
film
awards,
including
the
Kerala
State
Film
Awards
of
1995,
including
the
awards
for
the
Best
Film
With
Popular
Appeal
and
Aesthetic
Quality,
Best
Director,
and
Best
Screenplay.
The
songs
of
the
movie,
which
were
composed
by
Raveendran
and
R
Anandh,
still
remain
in
the
hit
charts.
Mazhayethum
Munpe
was
later
remade
in
Hindi
in
2005
under
the
title
Zameer,
with
Ajay
Devgan,
Mahima
Chaudhry,
and
Ameesh
Patel
in
the
lead
roles.
