Kaaval: The comeback of Superstar Suresh Gopi
Suresh Gopi has been active in politics over the past few years, and now he is a Rajya Sabha MP. Last year, he made a comeback to the industry with Anoop Sathyan's Varane Avashyamundu. However, Varane Avashyamundu was a light-hearted comedy, and audiences saw a new Suresh Gopi without his vintage mannerisms.
But when it comes to Kaaval, Suresh Gopi fans have many things to rejoice, as they saw their action king in his vintage looks and style in several parts of the film. Suresh Gopi's flashback scenes and his transformation were well received by audiences, and they are now eagerly waiting for his next projects Paappan and Ottakomban.
Apart from Suresh Gopi, Kaaval also stars Renji Panicker, Rachel David, and Kichu Tellus in other crucial roles.
