During the season, a dozen of shops are set up in the forest to serve the hundreds of workers and drivers who come up to harvest bamboo and transport them into far off places. Mohanlal is Balaraman in the movie, a lorry driver who frequents this place during the season. Although he appears cool in demeanour, certain incidents from his past continue to haunt him. He is afraid of something related to his past, but no one except Maniappan (Kalabhavan Mani), his trusted aide knows what he is actually after,” says Padmakumar about the character. Apart from Maniappan, Balaraman always roams around with Ganga, the daughter of Balaraman’s brother. He had been a fatherly figure to Ganga (Ananya), who lost her parents in an accident at the age of four. Balaraman has plans to make her a doctor. |
