Mohanlal-Suresh
Gopi
starring
crime
thriller
movie,
Irupatham
Noottandu
is
one
of
the
iconic
thriller
films
of
Malayalam
movie
industry.
The
movie
was
written
by
SN
Swamy
and
directed
by
K
Madhu.
Irupatham
Noottandu
played
a
major
role
in
cementing
Mohanlal's
superstardom
in
Mollywood.
Ambika
and
Urvashi
played
the
female
leads
in
the
movie,
which
Jagathy
Sreekumar,
Adoor
Bhasi,
Kaviyoor
Ponnamma,
Sukumari,
Mamukoya,
Prathapachandran,
Janardhanan,
Jagadish,
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
Irupatham
Noottandu
is
remade
now....
Prithviraj
as
Sagar
Alias
Jacky
Prithviraj
is
the
only
choice
for
the
role
of
Sagar
Alias
Jacky,
if
the
movie
is
remade
now.
Prithvi
is
an
actor
who
can
handle
both
the
heroic
and
simple
characters
with
the
same
ease.
The
role
of
Sagar,
played
by
Mohanlal
in
the
original,
has
both
these
shades.
And
that
is
what
which
makes
Prithvi
perfect
for
the
role.
Tovino
Thomas
as
Sekharan
Kutty
Shekharan
Kutty,
played
by
Suresh
Gopi
in
the
original
is
an
antagonist
role
which
is
as
powerful
as
the
protagonist.
If
the
movie
is
remade
now,
Tovino Thomas
is
the
only
actor
from
the
current
slot
who
can
stand
opposite
Prithviraj's
Jacky,
as
a
powerful
villain.
Bhavana
as
Ashwathy
The
role
of
Ashwathy,
played
by
Ambika
in
the
original
is
an
intelligent
journalist
who
initially
moves
against
Jacky,
and
finally
plays
a
major
role
in
his
mission
against
Shekharankutty.
The
character
demands
a
matured
actress,
and
we
feel
that
Bhavana
will
totally
fit
the
bill.
Mia
George
as
Jyothi
Urvashi
appeared
as
Jyothi,
the
love
interest
of
Sagar
who
has
been
imprisoned
for
murdering
a
local
goon.
If
the
movie
is
remade
now,
Mia
George
is
a
good
choice
for
the
role
of
the
brave,
good-hearted
village
girl.
Soubin
Shahir
as
Ashokan
Veteran
actress
Jagathy
Sreekumar
appeared
as
Jacky's
right-hand
Ashokan.
If
Irupatham
Noottandu
is
remade
now,
Soubin Shahir
can
do
total
justice
to
the
role,
which
has
both
serious
and
humorous
shades.
The
movie,
which
was
directed
by
M
Mani
for
the
banner
Sunitha
Productions,
emerged
as
all
time
highest
grosser
of
Malayalam
movie
industry
until
then,
by
fetching
more
than
2
Crores
from
its
175-days
theatrical
run.
Irupatham
Noottandu
was
remade
into
Kannada
under
the
title
Jackey
in
1989,
with
Ambarish
in
the
lead
role.
It
was
remade
in
Telugu
as
20va
Shatabdam,
with
Suman
replacing
Mohanlal
as
the
lead
actor.
The
movie
had
a
spin-off
titled
Sagar
Alias
Jacky
Reloaded
in
2009,
with
Mohanlal
and
Jagathy
Sreekumar
reprising
their
roles.
But
the
Amal
Neerad
movie
earned
mixed
reviews
from
the
audiences
and
ended
up
as
a
moderate
box
office
success.
