The
duo
of
Shaji
Kailas
and
Renji
Panikkar
were
once
the
most
celebrated,
the
most
sought
after
director–writer
in
the
entire
realm
of
Malayalam
commercial
films.
They
have
gone
down
in
the
history
of
Malayalam
cinema
as
the
collective
brains
that
gave
birth
to
some
of
the
best
action
flicks,
ever
to
be
shown
in
a
Malayalam
movie
theater.
Some
of
the
notable
movies
that
they
released
included
Sthalathe
Pradhana
Payyan,
Ekalayavan,
Thalasthanam
and
a
lot
more.
The
duo"s
trademark
feature
was
that
the
heroes
in
their
films,
be
it
Mammootty
or
Suresh
Gopi,
always
delivered
spitfire
and
catchy
dialogues.
The
characterization
of
these
films
was
primarily
based
on
the
political
affairs
prevalent
in
Kerala.
After
a
hiatus
of
15
years,
the
magnificent
duo
is
making
a
comeback
of
sorts
with
their
latest
film,
The
King
and
Commissioner.
Co-incidentally
The
King
and
Commissioner
were
two
previously
released
separate
hits,
from
the
Shaji
Kailas
and
Renji
Panikkar
camp.
They
are
joining
the
two.
