‘Kadathanadan Ambadi’ was a hit movie released in 1990. Not many people know the behind-the-seen anecdotes from the movie. Film director Alleppy Ashraf opened up about memories of this movie through his new YouTube video.

Ashraf:

“It was while shooting for the movie that Mohanlal felt the urge to travel in the car trunk. Director Priyadarshan strictly refused this but Mohanlal was in no mood to obey. The actor was in his quirky best and said he would only travel in the trunk. Priyan finally relented and the great actor found comfort in the trunk while the car moved from the film set to the hotel.

Sajan Varghese, the owner of ‘Saj Pictures’ produced ‘Kadathanadan Ambadi’. He once summoned the director for a talk. After a few minutes, I saw Priyan coming to me with a sullen face. A few minutes of pestering later, Priyan told me what Sajan had to say.

Those were times when Priyan-Lissy romance was at its zenith. However, Sajan made it clear to Priyan that Lissy won’t be part of ‘Kadathanadan Ambadi’. Priyan tried his best to wheedle the producer but to no avail. He was shattered since ‘Kadathanadan Ambadi’ was his biggest budget movie till then.

Sajan’s close friend Santhosh, a Thiruvananthapuram native had a riff with Lissy which might have forced Sajan to keep the doors closed for the actress.”
