Chakochi returns!!

One of the cult characters of Malayalam Mass films, Aanakattil Chakochi, reprised by Suresh Gopi in the 1997 blockbuster Lelam is all set to make a comeback. There were rumors of a sequel coming a while ago but nothing quite materialized. The reason being said was that considering the enormity of the character and film, making a sequel wasn’t easy as a solid script was needed. Renji Panikkar who scripted Lelam will be scripting the sequel as well along with directing it. He is currently hogging the limelight for his performance as an actor in the recently released Om Shanthi Oshana in which he plays Nazriya’s dad. The refreshing portrayal has won him accolades but Renji insists that he isn’t thinking of acting again anytime soon and that the Lelam sequel is his priority. Let’s hope we get to see a power-packed return of Chackochi and Suresh Gopi too who also needs a comeback!
