However, the actor in Boban has now grown up. This week in the UAE, he returns with the Malayalam drama, Ramante Edenthottam, in which he plays a 40-year-old environmentalist and the owner of a farmhouse. Well-travelled, cultured and widowed, the suave Raman runs his resort like a retreat in which his guests undergo a detox from life and its trials. “ Ramante Edenthottam is a feel-good film. His farmhouse in a forested area pushes you to look at life with positivity and aspires you for more … And it was great to play my age, 40,” said Boban. This actor is a refreshing change from a crop of Malayalam actors who are busy doing age-inappropriate roles. It isn’t uncommon to find Malayalam A-listers attempt to play twenty somethings in their forties.īoban goes a step further and claims that Ramante Edenthottam has a strong woman in its centre.

“Even though I play the title role, it’s a heroine-oriented movie or theme. Malini, played by Anu Sithara, plays a married woman who comes to his farmhouse along with her family. It’s a mature role where she goes through various phases in her life,” says Boban. The film chronicles the tale of Malini, who is trapped in an unhappy marriage with her producer husband who is prone to the occasional philandering, but she undergoes a slow transformation during her vacation at Raman’s farmhouse in the scenic Wagamom. Raman and Malini’s budding friendship (not necessarily of romantic nature, says Boban) is also showcased with sensitivity. His laid-back aura makes him attractive to women, a trait that mystifies other men. “Malini’s husband, Evis, and Raman are contradictory characters. They are two sides of a male character and it will be interesting to see how people relate to them,” says Boban.įor this actor, whose career is littered with hits including Niram, Ordinary and Take Off, that’s his sole priority: take on roles that challenge and push him as an artist. He doesn’t care for the length of the role, but it’s the significance of his on-screen characters that count.
In 2014, Boban took on the role of a chauvinistic husband in actress Manju Warrier’s comeback blockbuster, How Old Are You? Even though his character is reformed towards the climax, it was a creative gamble.
