Ranimol
Who could forget the adorable Ranimol from Mangalyam? Keerthana Anil, who played the role, has grown up and is now known as the sister of Santhwanam fame Gopika.
Jeem Boom Baa
Master Jeevan made a lasting impression as the genie ‘Jeem Boom Baa’ in Alavudinte Albutha Vilakku. Now all grown up, he has evolved into a charming young actor and currently stars as one of the leads in Mangalyam Thantunanena.
Kuttichathan
Hello, Kuttichathan remains a cherished kids' show among Malayali audiences. Navaneeth Madhav, who portrayed the mischievous Kuttappayi (aka Kuttichathan), looks almost unrecognizable today. Interestingly, he is also the brother of popular film actor Neeraj Madhav.
