It was a dream come true for film operator E Gopalakrishnan Nair after meeting Mohanlal. His big dream was to meet the actor. Gopalakrishnan, a native of Cherthala in Alappuzha, is still working as a film operator and has been working for the past 51 years.

It was Nair who played the actor’s super hit film ‘Chithram’ for more than a year at Ernakulam Shenoys. Nair’s favourite film is also ‘Chithram’. It was director B Unnikrishan who arranged a meeting between the two at the shooting site in Edapally. Nair working in Saritha Theatre in Ernakulam, mentioned that his favourite star is Mohanlal and expressed his wish to meet him.

Mohanlal enquired all about Nair. The actor asked him why he was working at this age. The two spent nearly half an hour together and took a photo also. Nair was very happy after meeting Mohanlal as his wish had been fulfilled.
