Thodarum brings new baddie to screen - Prakash Varma


 After a spate of trolls post Empuran in theatres and now on OTT, Mohanlal is receiving bouquets for Thodarum released Friday and the actor expressed his thanks for the compliements. Everyone who saw Thodarum is now busy searching to who is this Prakash Varma who played the baddie in the film. Read on: Advertising legend Prakash Varma, known for Vodafone’s Zoozoo and Hutch pug ads, makes a striking acting debut as a memorable villain in Tharun Moorthy’s Thudarum. Discover his journey from adman to scene-stealer.

It’s hard not to be captivated by Prakash Varma from the moment he walks up to Mohanlal’s chrachter. Prakash Varma is primarily known for his work behind the camera, having made a name for himself in the advertising world. He is the mastermind behind several iconic ad campaigns, including the memorable Vodafone ZooZoo commercials. Born into a Malayali family, Varma has a strong connection to the culture of the region, which perhaps influences his nuanced approach to roles like George in Thudarum. Despite being recognized for his work in the industry, this marks one of Varma's rare ventures into acting, and he has been met with a positive reception for his portrayal of the shrewd and menacing police officer.

In Thudarum, Varma's character George plays a pivotal role, adding tension and intrigue to the narrative. While the film is driven by Mohanlal's performance as Shanmughan, a taxi driver in the town of Ranni, George's presence as the antagonist provides a contrasting dynamic that elevates the tension within the storyline. The film is set in the scenic hill town of Pathanamthitta and revolves around Shanmughan's deep attachment to his aging Ambassador car, with the plot reflecting his struggles and personal sacrifices.
