Now, it was Johny’s turn to laugh.
He plays a kabaddi player who becomes obsessed with alcohol, after losing his lover, Annie, played by Andrea Jeremiah. As he talks about his pain, suddenly Mammooty says, “The bars have stopped, but not the beverages (The Kerala State Beverages Corporation, which distributes alcohol in the state).” The crowd, at the location, burst into laughter when he said this. “I decided to put it in the film, because of this reaction,” says Johny. “And, sure enough, in the hall, the audience start laughing when Mammooty says this dialogue.”
