CI George Mathan (Thudarum): Considering Shanmugan (Mohanlal) already had a rocky encounter with SI Benny C Kurian (Binu Pappu) over his taxi's release, it is only natural that he would be drawn to CI George Mathan's (Prakash Verma) affable demeanor. After all, compared to Benny's gruffness, Mathan appears more approachable. However, it doesn’t take long for the naive taxi driver -former fight master - to realise that Mathan's geniality is just a facade, hiding a cunning and ruthless manipulator. With retirement looming, CI George Mathan's charm – dimples flashing can be disarmingly sinister. He candidly confesses to Shanmugan about the countless wrongdoings in his long career, revealing an unapologetic and irredeemable individual. The fact that Mathan can dismantle your every existence and identity is a chilling prospect, one that would unsettle even his most hardened adversaries. While Mathan's character might seem one-dimensional on paper, it is Prakash Verma's nuanced portrayal that adds a layer of macabre complexity. His subtle dialogue delivery, enigmatic grin, and effortless navigation of villainy make him a chilling figure, defying simplistic categorisation.
