Koodevide,
the
Mammootty-Suhasini-Rahman
starring
romantic
drama
is
still
considered
as
one
of
the
best
films
of
that
genre.
The
movie,
which
was
loosely
based
on
a
Tamil
novel
titled
Vasanthi,
was
a
huge
critical
and
commercial
success.
Suhasini
made
her
Mollywood
debut
with
the
movie
and
established
herself
as
one
of
the
best
leading
ladies
ever
worked
with
Mammootty.
Koodevide
also
marked
the
acting
debut
of
Rahman,
who
won
the
Kerala
State
award
for
Best
Second
Actor
of
1983,
for
his
performance.
Here
we
list
the
names
of
the
actors,
whom
we
feel
are
the
perfect
choices
for
the
lead
roles
if
Koodevide
is
remade
now....
Prithviraj
As
Captain
Thomas
(Mammootty)
Prithviraj
is
undoubtedly
the
best
choice
for
the
role
Captain
Thomas,
essayed
by
Mammootty
in
the
original.
The
actor
can
perfectly
play
the
obsessive,
attention-seeking
lover,
who
doubts
his
girlfriend's
relationship
with
her
student.
Vedhika
As
Alice
(Suhasini)
Vedhika
has
proved
her
acting
skills
with
her
remarkable
performance
in
James
And
Alice.
We
are
sure
that
the
actress
will
be
a
perfect
choice
for
the
role
of
Alice
in
Koodevide,
a
dedicated
teacher
who
shares
a
very
special
bond
with
her
student.
Kalidas
Jayaram
As
Ravi
Puthooran
(Rahman)
Well,
we
really
can't
think
of
any
actor
other
than
Kalidas
Jayaram,
who
will
make
a
perfect
choice
for
the
role
Ravi
Puthooran.
We
are
sure
that
the
character
of
the
mischievous
yet
innocent
school
kid,
who
finds
a
mother
in
his
teacher,
will
be
safe
in
Kalidas's
hands.
Jayaram
As
Xavier
Puthooran
(Jose
Prakash)
The
obvious
choice
for
the
role
of
Xavior
Puthooran,
the
father
of
Ravi.
It
will
be
really
exciting
to
watch
Jayaram
sharing
the
screen
with
his
son
Kalidas,
who
has
already
made
his
debut
as
a
lead
actor.
Rahul
Madhav
As
Captain
George
(Prem
Prakash)
Rahul
Madhav
is
a
good
choice
for
the
role
of
Captain
George,
the
elder
brother
of
Alice
and
best
buddy
of
Captain
Thomas.
He
can
perfectly
pull
off
the
role
of
the
caring
brother,
who
wants
to
marry
off
his
sister
to
his
best
friend.
The
Director:
Lal
Jose
Well,
it
is
impossible
to
imagine
any
other
film-maker
in
the
place
of
Padmarajan,
the
legend.
But
if
Koodevide
is
getting
a
remake
today,
Lal
Jose
is
the
only
film-maker
from
the
current
slot,
who
deserves
the
director's
hat.
Koodevide,
which
was
scripted
by
Padmarajan,
himself
also
featured
several
prominent
actors
including
Sukumari,
Jose
Prakash,
Maniyanpilla
Raju,
Kottayam
Shantha,
Devi,
etc.,
in
the
supporting
roles.
The
movie
had
bagged
the
Kerala
State
Award
of
1983
for
the
Best
Film
With
Popular
Appeal
And
Aesthetic
Value.
Sukumari,
who
played
the
character
Susan
in
the
movie,
won
the
State
Award
of
1983,
for
the
Best
Second
Actress.
Interestingly,
actor
Prithviraj
had
bagged
the
remake
rights
of
Koodevide
a
few
years
back.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
true,
the
actor
wants
to
make
his
Bollywood
directorial
debut
with
the
remake
of
the
movie
and
wants
to
cast
Manju
Warrier
as
Alice.
