Malayalam
films
have
given
some
memorable
'achayan'
characters
to
the
audiences.
If
we
are
to
pick
one
such
actor,
who
could
do
such
roles
with
ease,
then
Mammootty
would
be
the
definite
choice,
without
any
doubts.
The
actor
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
upcoming
film
Thoppil
Joppan.
Mammootty
would
once
again
seen
as
an
'achayan'
by
playing
the
title
role
in
the
film.
Mammootty
has
done
a
good
number
of
'achayan'
characters
in
films,
in
his
career
so
far.
Here,
we
list
some
of
the
memorable
'achayan'
roles
portrayed
by
the
actor
so
far.
Take
a
look.
Kunjachan
In
Kottayam
Kunjachan
Kottayam
Kunjachan,
is
by
far,
one
of
the
best
'achayan'
characters
portrayed
by
Mammootty
so
far.
The
character
Kunjachan
was
widely
appreciated
by
the
audiences
and
the
film
went
on
to
become
a
mega
success.
Kuttappaayi
In
Sangham
Kuttapaayi
in
the
film
Sangham
was
one
of
the
first
'achayan'
characters
portrayed
by
Mammootty
onscreen.
Mammootty
essayed
the
role
with
ease
and
did
give
a
dynamic
performance
in
the
film
Johny
In
Johnywalker
Johny
from
the
film
Johnywalker
was
quite
a
different
character
from
the
rest
in
this
list.
Unlike
others
in
the
list,
Johny
was
a
stylish
'achayan' character.
And
needless
to
say,
Mammootty
was
in
top
form
as
Johny.
Chandy
In
Oru
Maravathoor
Kanavu
Nobody
would
forget
the
character
Chandy
from
the
film
Oru
Maravathoor
Kanavu.
This
again
was
an
'achayan'
character
with
a
difference.
Mammootty
made
the
character
unique
with
his
performance.
David
John
Kottarathil
In
Nasrani
After
a
brief
break,
it
was
in
the
film
Nasrani
directed
by
Joshiy
that
Mammootty
appeared
in
the
role
of
an
'achayan'.
Much
was
expected
from
the
film,
but
it
failed
to
deliver
the
goods.
But,
it
has
to
be
said
that
Mammootty
impressed
all
with
his
portrayal
of
David
John
Kottarathil.
Joy
In
Praise
The
Lord
Well,
the
film
might
have
had
a
miserable
run
at
the
box
office
but
still,
we
can't
stop
talking
about
the
character
played
by
Mammootty
in
the
film.
The
actor
played
the
role
of
a
rich
planter
named
Joy,
who
is
a
lazy
guy.
The
teaser
of
Thoppil
Joppan
was
released
last
night
and
it
has
opened
to
a
grand
reception.
Going
by
the
teaser,
it
seems
like
Mammootty
has
once
again
nailed
in
with
his
performance
in
the
film.
Johny
Antony
has
called
the
shots
for
Thoppil
Joppan
and
Nishad
Koya
of
Ordinary
and
Madhuranaranga
fame
has
penned
the
script
for
the
film.
Thoppil
Joppan
is
expected
to
hit
the
theatres
on
October
7.
The
film
also
features
actors
like
Mamtha
Mohandas,
Andrea
Jeremiah,
Renji
Panikker,
Salimkumar,
Alencier
Ley
etc.
in
prominent
roles.
