Mohanlal,
the
complete
actor
is
best
known
for
the
unique
touch
he
gives
to
every
character
he
plays,
with
his
exceptional
acting
skills.
Interestingly,
Mohanlal
always
makes
sure
to
give
a
personal
touch
to
his
characters
with
some
special
inputs.
Recently
writer
SN
Swamy
revealed
how
the
actor
himself
named
his
character
from
this
popular
yesteryear
blockbuster.
According
to
SN
Swamy,
it
was
Mohanlal
who
named
the
central
character
of
the
yesteryear
blockbuster
Irupatham
Noottandu,
as
Sagar
Alias
Jacky.
Initially,
the
writer
and
director
K
Madhu
had
decided
to
name
the
central
character
Vidhya
Sagar
and
the
alter
identity,
Jacky.
Later,
Mohanlal
felt
that
the
character
should
have
a
uniqueness,
and
modified
the
name
as
Sagar
Alias
Jacky
by
uniting
both
the
names.
Interestingly,
the
complete
actor
was
totally
confident
that
the
named
Sagar
Alias
Jacky
will
be
an
instant
hit
among
the
audiences
and
will
be
remembered
for
a
very
long
time.
Well,
we
must
admit
that
Mohanlal's
intuition
was
absolutely
correct,
as
Sagar
Alias
Jacky
still
remains
as
one
of
the
most
popular
characters
in
his
career.
Interestingly,
Irupatham
Noottandu
was
the
first
action
thriller
in
the
career
of
writer
SN
Swamy,
who
was
best
known
for
family
dramas
till
then.
According
to
the
veteran
writer,
the
idea
of
the
Mohanlal
starrer
was
developed
after
he
saw
the
picture
of
legendary
Bollywood
actor
Dilip
Kumar
who
seeks
the
blessings
of
the
mafia
gang
leader
Haji
Masthan.
Irupatham
Noottandu,
which
was
released
in
1987,
had
featured
an
extensive
star
cast
including
Suresh
Gopi,
Urvashi
and
Ambika,
Jagathy
Sreekumar,
Kaviyoor
Ponnamma,
Prathapachandran,
Sreenath,
Jagadish,
Mamukoya,
Janardhanan,
and
so
on
in
the
other
pivotal
roles.
The
movie,
which
was
one
of
the
biggest
commercial
successes
of
the
year,
had
completed
200
days
in
theaters.
Mohanlal
later
teamed
up
with
cinematographer-director
Amal
Neerad
for
a
sequel
of
Irupatham
Noottandu,
which
was
titled
Sagar
Alias
Jacky
in
2009.
But
the
film
couldn't
recreate
the
magic
of
its
first
installment.
