Bollywood veterans are M-Town bound

Anupam Kher: Anupam Kher, the seasoned Bollywood actor, made a powerful Mollywood entry by playing a Palghat-native named Achutha Menon in Pranayam. The unusual triangular love story, which saw Anupam, Mohanlal and Jayaprada in the lead, delved deep into the past relationships and emotional turmoil of its characters.  

Arundathi Nag : Can anyone forget the feisty and fun loving grandmother in Da Thadiya, who cooks tasty dishes for her dear grandson, Luke? In her debut Malayalam movie helmed by Aashiq Abu, Bollywood actress Arundathi Nag made quite an impression by playing an ‘unconventional’ grandmother and the head of a rich, joint family. A noted theatre personality and a national award winning actress, Arundathi made her presence felt throughout the movie with her powerful performance.
 

Jackie Shroff :The actor who defined raw machismo in Bollywood is no stranger to Malayalam. Jackie made his Malayalam debut with the science fiction movie, Athisayan. The movie helmed by Vinayan saw him playing scientist R C Shekhar, who experiments on a magic potion that could make human beings invisible. Later, the actor was seen playing a complex character in Platform Number One, opposite Shwetha Menon, proving his versatility.

Zarina Wahab: Zarina Wahab is not at all an outsider in M-Town. The actress, who has starred in nearly 23 Malayalam films since her debut in the 1978 blockbuster movie, Madanolsavam, is now a favourite choice for filmmakers when it comes to mother roles. Her classy act in films like Chamaram, and more recently in Adaminte Makan Abu, has gained her a firm footing in Mollywood. She was last seen in the Malayalam movie, Olipporu, where she played the mother of Fahadh Faasil.
