Suresh Gopi is Malayalees’ favorite actor. He gradually became a superstar through evil, supporting and lead roles. His films are mostly action films and a few sentimental family films. His first role in a full comedy was in Sundara Purushan directed by Jose Thomas. Sureshgopi played the role of a common man named Suryanarayanan and the comedians Mukesh, Kochin Hanifa and Salim Kumar were there. In a scene from a song with Nadi, the audience got to see Suresh Gopi, whom we haven’t seen until then. Sureshgopi scored higher in the film than Mukesh and has never made a comedy like this.
Instead of choosing Dileep or Jayaram in this film, director Gambhiram’s courage chose Suresh Gopi and it became a hit. Nandini and Devyani played the heroines in this film and the song Thangamanasin composed by Mohan Sitara is still a super hit today. In 2001, when Suresh Gopi’s films failed consecutively, Sundarapurushan was the film that gave him relief. Share your opinion on this film.
