No native of Thrissur could ever forget their 'Rappayettan', aka Theetta Rappayi, who had an unappeasable appetite and set a Guinness record by eating most number of idlis at a single go. But never did Winu think that the project was destined to be completed by Mani's younger brother RLV Ramakrishnan, a talented artist, in the former's absence.Īs the movie 'Theetta Rappayi' is finally landing in the theatres on July 6, director Winu and dancer-actor Ramakrishnan opens up to Onmanorama on the struggles they faced to complete their project in the absence of Kalabhavan Mani.
Winu intended to cast Mani in the eponymous film, but destiny willed otherwise as the popular actor passed way in 2016. Winu, an intimate friend of late south Indian actor Kalabhavan Mani, had decided to picturise the life of Theetta Rappayi, the man who is synonymous with unending appetite in Kerala. This popular saying proved true as Winu Ramakrishnan set out to make his first film about one-and-a-half decade ago.
