'2255’ returns with Mohanlal; 'Rajavinte Makan' actor buys fancy plate in the auction at the Ernakulam RTO

For Malayalis, the dialogue “My phone number is 2255” from 'Rajavinte Makan' is something they never forget. It stayed in people’s minds for decades. Now, that famous number is back again.




According to Mathrubhumi reports Mohanlal has secured the same iconic number for his new vehicle. It is a small thing, but it brought back big memories.

How Mohanlal won the 2255 number

The fancy number KL-07 DJ 2255 was auctioned at the Ernakulam RTO on Monday. Reports say that Mohanlal bought the number for Rs 1.80 lakh. The number will be fixed on his new Innova Hycross. The vehicle is worth around Rs.33 lakh.


The auction was held online. It was conducted under the supervision of Ernakulam Joint RTO C.D. Arun. Three people took part in the bidding. The auction started at Rs 10,000. The price slowly went up and reached Rs 1.45 lakh. At that point Mohanlal’s representative raised the bid to Rs 1.80 lakh. After that, the other bidders stepped back. A registration fee of Rs 5,000 was also paid. The auction was needed because two other people had also applied for the same number.

2255 is special for Mohanlal

This is not the first time Mohanlal has chosen the number 2255. He already uses KL-07 CZ 2255 on his Caravan. Over the years, he has picked special numbers for his vehicles. For his luxury MPV Vellfire, he chose the number 2020. For his Range Rover, he selected KL-07 DB 0001. Even his close friend and producer Antony Perumbavoor recently picked a 2255 number. Antony bought KL-07 DH 2255 for Rs 3.20 lakh for his Volvo XC60.
