If
we
take
the
list
of
the
best
police
roles
done
by
Mohanlal,
then
his
cop
role
from
the
film
Mukham,
will
definitely
find
a
top
spot
in
that
list.
Mukham,
the
Mohanlal
starrer,
directed
by
popular
film-maker
Mohan,
was
released
in
the
year
1990.
The
film
was
unlike
the
cop
movies
of
those
days,
and
it
had
a
different
approach
and
treatment
altogether.
The
story
of
Mukham
revolved
around
Hariprasad
(Mohanlal),
a
cop
who
is
assigned
to
investigate
a
series
of
murders.
In
the
due
course,
his
relation
with
his
wife
also
comes
to
the
focus,
but
for
a
valid
reason.
Well,
the
story
of
this
Mohanlal
starrer
still
holds
due
relevance.
What
if
Mukham
is
remade
now?
In
case
of
a
remake,
who
are
the
best
to
replace
Mohanlal,
Ranjini
and
others,
if
ever
such
a
thing
happens?
In
this
week's
Past
To
Present,
we
discuss
about
this
interesting
scenario.
Fahadh
Faasil
As
Hariprasad
(Mohanlal)
Mohanlal
got
to
play
one
of
the
well-written
police
officer
roles
in
Mukham.
The
actor
had
given
a
composed
and
matured
performance
as
Hariprasad,
who
goes
through
a
tumultuous
time,
during
the
investigation.
If
ever
this
film
is
remade,
we
feel
that
Fahadh
Faasil
will
be
an
excellent
choice
for
this
role.
He
is
sure
to
nail
it
with
his
style
of
performance.
Anusree
As
Usha
(Ranjini)
The
character
of
Usha,
the
wife
of
Narendran,
is
in
the
film
for
a
valid
reason.
Unlike
the
female
protagonists
of
such
investigative
thrillers,
this
character
has
got
to
play
an
important
role
in
the
movie.
It
was
actress
Ranjini
who
played
this
role
in
the
original
and
in
case
of
a
remake,
Anusree
shall
be
the
perfect
replacement.
Rahman
As
Narendran
(Nasser)
The
character
of
Commissioner
Narendran,
is
as
important
as
the
main
lead
character
of
the
movie.
It
was
Nasser
who
amazed
one
and
all
with
his
portrayal
of
Narendran.
We
feel
someone
like
Rahman
will
be
the
perfect
fit
for
this
role,
which
has
a
wide
scope
for
performance.
Alencier
Ley
As
Minnal
Madhavan
(Sukumaran)
Well,
Sukumaran
was
the
man
who
portrayed
Minnal
Madhavan,
the
assistant
to
Hariprasad
in
Mukham.
He
made
this
character
a
real
special
one,
with
his
own
style
of
portrayal.
Coming
to
the
remake,
we
feel
Alencier
Ley
shall
be
the
exact
choice
for
this
role.
The
chemistry
between
Fahadh
Faasil
and
Alencier
Ley
Lopez
would
also
contribute
a
lot,
for
the
best.
Deepak
Parambol
As
Vijay
(Vijay
Menon)
This
particular
character,
holds
due
importance
in
the
movie,
The
screen
time
for
the
character
might
be
comparatively
lesser,
but
it
is
Vijay
who
drives
the
story
forward
after
a
point
of
time.
At
present,
Deepak
Parambol
can
be
a
good
choice
for
this
role
done
by
Vijay
Menon
in
the
original.
In
fact,
Mukham
wasn't
a
big
box
office
success,
during
its
time
of
release.
But
with
the
passage
of
time,
this
Mohanlal
starrer
went
on
to
achieve
a
cult
classic
status.
