Career

Kunchacko Boban, often called Chackochan, was introduced to the Malayalam film industry by the versatile director Fazil. He made his debut in the film “Aniathipravu” in 1997, co-starring Shalini. Directed by Fazil, the movie became the highest-grossing Malayalam film at the time. Kunchacko’s portrayal of Sudhi, the lead character, was well-received, especially by young audiences and families. The pairing of Kunchacko Boban and Shalini was considered one of the best in the Malayalam film industry.

Following the success of “Aniathipravu,” Kunchacko starred in several hit films, including “Nakshathrathaarattu” and “Mayilpeelikkavu” in 1998, and “Niram” in 1999. “Niram” was one of the highest-grossing films of 1999, with its songs remaining popular. He reunited with director Fazil in “Harikrishnans,” where he played a cameo role. This film marked the reunion of actors Mohanlal and Mammootty after nine years and was the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year.

Kunchacko continued his success with commercially successful films such as “Priyam” (2000), “Sathyam Sivam Sundaram” (2000), “Dosth” (2001), “Narendran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka” (2001), and “Kalyanaraman” (2002). After his marriage in 2005, he took a break from films.

He returned to the film industry in 2008 with a special appearance in the song “Twenty:20” and later acted in Shafi’s “LollyPop.” His real comeback came in 2009 with the comedy film “Gulumal: The Escape,” directed by V.
