Kuthiravattam Pappu will be one of the legendary actors in Malayalam. Pappu is generally known to the audience as a comedy emperor, but any kind of character was safe in those hands. His real name was Padmadalakshan. The scenes that he immortalized are still running through the minds of the Malayalees. The Thamarassery Pass described by Sulaiman is an example of this.
He has acted in over 1500 films. The land of elephants, the minarets, the greetings, the Bhargavi Nilayam, the lion in the direction of the moon, and so on. It was Vaikom Mohammad Basheer who cut Padmadalakshan, who is starring in Bhargavi Nilayam, into Pappu. Yes yes the last movie he acted in was Nara Simham. Pappu’s son is also active in cinema now. His name is Binu. His performance in Operation Java earned him critical acclaim. Now Binu is talking about the movie Summer in Bethlehem.
His father was to play the role of Mani Chettan, the artist of Kalabhavan in Summer in Bethlehem. The film was shot in Ooty. Before that, his father was acting in Sundara Killadi. The film was shot in a very hot atmosphere. Sundara Killadi was shot in Coimbatore. From such hot weather, my father went to the set in Summer in Bethlehem. The film was shot in a nice cool place.
The film was shot in Ooty. The first scene of the movie is the song scene where Manichetan runs away. When it was done, the father became short of breath. Then he went to the room with the help there. But saw no decrease. Thus, he was retiring from the film due to his extreme illness. She was told she could be taken to the hospital but her father came back saying she was not doing the movie. He will realize how badly he must have gone if he was to reach that conclusion. Because my father’s life was film, drama and acting. Later, when he was checked, he was diagnosed with pneumonia. He was not allowed to act for a year after that. The doctor had a definite instruction not to travel. And yet he continued to act.
