Malaysian audiences know that Mohanlal is an actor as well as a singer. There is no other Malayalam superstar who has sung in so many movies. Mohanlal’s specialty is also getting the songs he sings on the hit charts. But Malayalam also has a story of Yesuda asking and singing a song to be sung by Mohanlal. Jerry Amaldev’s song was reserved for Mohanlal in the 1986 film “Oppam Oppathin”. But Yesudas, who had sung other songs in the same film, asked for the third song and sang it. Jerry Amaldev composed three songs for the movie “Oppam Oppathin”, starring Mohanlal, Shankar, Menaka, Lalu Alex and others. The songs are written by Bichu Thirumala. The songs “Kambili Megham Putacha” and “Puzhail Ninnetho” are sung by Yesudas. In the film, Mohanlal and Mala Aravindan are drunk walking around a coconut plantation and on the banks of a river. After completing the recording of two songs, Yesudas asked if there were any other songs in the film.
