Saikumar,
one
of
the
finest
actors
in
the
Malayalam
film
industry.

started
his

artist
in

Mottukal

hero
and
a
comedian
with

blockbuster
Ramji
Rao
Speaking,
then
slowly
mastered
serious
as
well
as
powerful
negative
roles.

some
years,
he

more
enemies.
The

his
enemies
who
want
nothing
less
than
the
ultimate
end
of
Ali
Baba.
