Innocent
Vareed Thekkethala, mononymously known as Innocent is one of the most popular comedians
working in Malayalam Cinema today. He is among those actors who, despite having
the ‘actor’ overshadowing the ‘character’ with his trademark mannerisms and
unyielding accent, pull it through effectively every time. Like Mamukkoya and
Kuthiravattom Pappu, he has been stuck in an accent muzzle with his obstinate Thrissur
lilt that once hung above the head of the Achayan
accent in Kottayam Kunjachan and Kayyur
Accent in Meenamasathile Sooryan (which
could be overlooked as nobody including the scriptwriter got it right there). Nevertheless he is one of our all time favorites, and we do have his different
characters etched into our memories each distinct from the other,however slightly like the cards
in a deck. Following is a list of some of his most
unforgettable characters thus far, many of which have made us laugh till it hurt.
