Triva

Manjil Virinja Pookkal was Mohanlal's first release. His first film "Thiranottam" never released in Theatres.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.



Mohanlal was 20 years old when he played the villain in this film. Shankar was also 20 years old.
