Thangamani is Dileep's 148th film. There are many factors that make the audience wait for the film. The movie, which is a film version of the real event that took place in Idukki Thangamani, is a very important event in the political history of Kerala. When Dileep arrived in the trailer in a never-seen-before look with wild hair and a beard, the fans were excited. Dileep is an actor who is ready to change any role for a character in Malayalam. Movies like Kunhikoonan are an example of that.
Dileep's characters in Pachkuthira and Chanthupoti could not be done by any other actor. The last movie where Dileep came in a different look was Keshu who was the lord of this house. There is no other actor in Malayalam who can be Keshu in the film directed by Nadirsha. Now Dileep is sharing his experience of walking through the streets of Palani wearing only thor and bathing in soap for a scene in the film. Dileep shared his shooting experience in an interview given to Kan Channel Media as part of Thangamani promotion. 'There is a scene where Kesu takes a bath in soap and walks down the streets of Palani, wearing only a thor, making phone calls.'
That scene was shot by hiding the camera in various places on the old street. Even the Malayalees did not understand me when they saw me bathing in soap and walking around wearing only a thor. No one expects me there with that look. Moreover, after shooting that scene, Nadirsha asked me what was wrong with you. Similarly, I never thought that Urvashi chechi would come as my heroine. Keshu is the master of this house because of having a sister too. I am one of the actors who have made the people of Kerala laugh the most. But I am the one who cried the most in my life. Dileep said that the one who makes me laugh has made me cry more.
