Kunchacko Boban interview on ‘Unmadham’: This cop is unlike any I’ve played before
Actor Kunchacko Boban discusses his upcoming film 'Unmadham', in which he plays a police officer for the third time under writer Shahi Kabir. The film is noted for blending a police procedural with supernatural elements and marks the directorial debut of editor Kiran Das.
Why it matters
The interview provides insight into the evolving trends of the Malayalam film industry, specifically the shift toward genre-blending narratives and the influence of experienced technicians moving into directing.
It is hard to believe that next year, in 2027, Kunchacko Boban, affectionately called Chackochan, will complete 30 years in the film industry. Ageless, as an adjective, does not convey it. He is all smiles as he settles down for the conversation about his latest film, Unmadham , his years in the industry, and being seen as an actor rather than a star.
Unmadham will be Kunchacko Boban’s third film with writer Shahi Kabir, best known for writing cop stories drawn from his own experience as a policeman. Three cop roles with the same writer? This is from an actor who did not want to be stereotyped.
