[edit] Triva

  • Manjil Virinja Pookkal was Mohanlal's debut movie.
  • Before Mohanlal was cast in the role of the villain, other actors were considered for the part, including Mammootty, Bharath Gopi and Sukumaran. Sukumaran almost got the part but was turned down because the director felt that he looked too old.[citation needed]
  • Mohanlal was only 20 years old when this film was made.
