Past To Present: Who Can Replace Mammootty If Kalikkalam Is Remade Now?

Who is the perfect choice to replace Mammootty, if Kalikkalam is remade? In this week's Past To Present, we discuss about this scenario.

Undoubtedly, it could be said that the 1980's and 1990's were the golden period of Malayalam cinema, since the industry got some brilliantly made movies.

In fact, we still love to watch certain movies of those days, over and again, without boredom. One such movie is Sathyan Anthikkad's Kalikkalam, which released in the year 1990.

Past To Present: Who Can Replace Mammootty If Kalikkalam Is Remade Now?

The film, that featured Mammootty in the lead role, was quite different from the Sathyan Anthikkad movies of those days. This entertainer, which had comedy, thrill and suspense elements in equal proportions narrated the story of a thief, who doesn't have a name.

Apart from Mammootty, the film also featured actors like Shobhana, Lalu Alex, Murali, Sreenivasan, Oduvil Unnikrishnan, Innocent, C I Paul etc., in prominent roles.

What if the film is remade now? In this week's Past To Present, our movie in consideration is Kalikkalam. Take a look at the perfect replacements for some of the actors, if the movie is remade now.

Jayasurya As Tony (A Man With Many Names)

Jayasurya As Tony (A Man With Many Names)

Mammootty had portrayed this role in the original. The actor was at his best in performing the character of a thief who follows the Robinhood concept. We feel that Jayasurya is an apt choice for this role and he can adapt pretty well to the various image makeovers that the character undergoes in the movie.

Indrajith As C I Sekharan

Indrajith As C I Sekharan

Sekharan is an honest Police Officer who is in search of our lead character. Murali portrayed this role in the original and if the film is remade, Indrajith would be an apt choice for the role. The cat and mouse game between Jayasurya and Indrajith would definitely be a treat to watch.

Madonna Sebastian As Annie

Shobhana had portrayed the role of Annie, who is the leading lady of the film. Coming to the new version, Madonna Sebastian would be an apt choice for this role. The pair of Jayasurya and Madonna Sebastian would definitely look good on screen.

Aju Varghese As Jamaal

Aju Varghese As Jamaal

Jamaal is the close friend and associate of our lead character. He is an innocent guy who blindly believes and admires his friend. Aju Varghese, with his acting prowess in doing such roles, will be an apt choice for this role portrayed by Sreenivasan in the original.

Saiju Kurupp As Commissioner Mathews

Commissioner Mathews is a senior official, who has some interesting traits. He always wants to look well-dressed. Lalu Alex had portrayed this role with ease in Kalikkalam. If a remake happens, then actor Saiju Kurupp would be the perfect choice for this role.

Kalikkalam, had its script written by S N Swamy and it was indeed a different attempt from the writer, as well. The film emerged as a success at the box office.

Well, it wouldn't be a bad idea to remake this film, as the theme, storyline and the tricks used in the film hold entertainment value, even now.
