How
far
would
the
actors
go
to
make
a
particular
character
believable?
Well,
we
have
many
examples
to
show
that
the
actors
of
Malayalam
film
industry
are
ready
to
put
in
that
extra
effort
for
a
character.
Considering
the
fact
that
the
film
industry
is
more
about
glitz
and
glamour,
it
wouldn't
be
wrong
for
one
to
think
that
the
actors
won't
be
ready
to
go
de-glam
for
films.
But,
it
hasn't
been
the
case
with
Malayalam
film
industry,
where
our
lead
actors
have
opted
to
go
de-glam
to
look
cent-percent
convincing
as
a
character.
Take
a
look
at
some
of
the
Malayalam
actors,
who
opted
to
go
de-glam
for
films..
Mammootty
In
Mrigaya
Well,
Mammootty
was
purely
unrecognizable
in
Mrigaya,
in
which
he
portrayed
the
role
of
Vaarunni.
The
actor
had
to
go
de-glam
to
look
convincing
as
the
character
and
he
was
cent
percent
successful
in
that.
Dileep
In
Kunjikoonan
Well,
Kunjikoonan
had
Dileep
in
dual
roles
and
the
actor
had
to
shed
his
glamour
for
the
character
named
Kunjan,
who
is
a
hunchback
in
the
movie.
Without
any
qualms,
the
actor
did
so
and
the
result
was
a
pretty
good
one.
Jayasurya
In
Trivandrum
Lodge
Jayasurya
is
one
such
Malayalam
actor,
who
is
ready
to
undergo
any
kind
of
change,
for
a
character
that
demands
it.
In
the
2012
film
Trivandrum
Lodge,
the
actor
portrayed
the
role
of
a
guy
who
is
low
in
self-esteem.
The
actor
opted
for
a
complete
image
makeover
by
going
de-glam.
Revathi
In
Kakkothikaavile
Apooppanthaadikal
Revathi
acted
in
Kakkothikkavile
Apooppan
Thaadikal
during
the
peak
time
of
her
acting
career.
She
got
to
play
the
lead
role
in
this
film,
which
the
actress
did
with
perfection.
The
actress
had
to
play
the
role
of
a
gypsy
girl
and
hence
had
to
go
de-glam.
Bhavana
In
Nammal
Not
many
would
have
dared
to
take
up
a
role
like
the
one
in
the
film,
as
an
acting
debut.
Nammal,
was
Bhavana's
first
role
in
films
and
she
got
play
the
character
of
a
girl
from
the
slums.
Asif
Ali
In
Ordinary
Asif
Ali
had
to
sport
a
rugged,
dirty
look
for
his
character
in
the
film
Ordinary.
Despite
being
at
the
peak
of
his
career,
the
actor
opted
to
play
this
role,
which
had
negative
shades
associated
with
it.
In
fact,
it
is
actor
Mammootty
who
has
experimented
with
looks,
for
the
maximum
number
of
times.
Apart
from
Mrigaya,
the
actor
did
go
de-glam
for
his
roles
in
films
like
Ponthanmada,
Sooryamanasam,
Karuthapakshikal
etc.
Each
time
he
takes
up
such
a
task,
he
manages
to
pull
it
off
successfully.
Reportedly,
Prithviraj
would
be
sporting
an
entirely
different
look
for
his
upcoming
film
Aadujeevitham.
In
fact,
the
character
that
he
is
set
to
play
for
the
film,
would
definitely
demand
the
actor
to
go
de-glam
for
the
film.
