Maniyanpilla Raju, an actor and producer in the Malayalam film industry, shared a humorous yet revealing anecdote about how his marriage was nearly jeopardized due to the plot of the 1984 film 'Ariyaatha Veethikal'. In the film, Mohanlal portrays Raju's driver, who is wrongfully convicted of murder after a scuffle involving Raju's character. When Raju's future in-laws watched the film during the marriage proposal process, they were outraged, questioning whether they should allow their daughter to marry someone who caused Mohanlal's character to be 'hanged'. Raju reminisced about how he had to explain the fictional nature of the film to convince them to proceed with the marriage. Raju and Mohanlal, who have known each other since their school days, have collaborated on several projects, with Mohanlal being a key figure in Raju's film productions. Mohanlal remains a beloved actor in the industry, recently starring in 'Thudarum' and set to appear in 'Patriot' alongside Mammootty, which is scheduled for release on May 1.
