About Spadikam
In the early stages of his career, Mohanlal won a lot of fans with his boy-next-door performances. However, he discarded that image to play the flawed and unlikeable Thomas Chacko, called Aadu Thoma, in Spadikam. With his outstanding portrayal in the part, which is regarded as the pinnacle of anti-hero figures, the entire actor captured millions of hearts. The Bhadran-directed movie had a stellar box office run and ended up becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam movie of 1995 with a lifetime total of almost Rs. 8 Crores.
In addition to Thilakan, KPAC Lalitha, Urvashi, Nedumudi Venu, Bahadoor, Sankaradi, Karamana Janardhanan Nair, NF Varghese, Rajan P Dev, Silk Smitha, Chippy, Ashokan, Indrans, NL Balakrishnan, and many others in supporting parts, the production also included a tremendous star cast. All of the main South Indian languages, including Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada, were later reproduced versions of the Mohanlal starrer.
