Dressed in drag for Chanakya Thanthram, Unni Mukundan makes a splash

Karishma will be one of the four looks Mukundan will be sporting in Chanakya Thanthram, said reports.

Though we have seen cameos with actors in drag, we haven’t seen many movies with leading heroes dressed in drag. Arguably, actor Kamal Haasan’s Avvai Shanmugi (1996) and Sivakarthikeyan’s Remo (2016) are the only two popular films that we can think of in this category. It’s not clear whether Mukundan’s Karishma will have a major presence or will be seen briefly in the narration. For now, Mukundan has got our attention as a drool-worthy, saree-clad woman.

Mukundan was last seen in Bhaagamathie, which released earlier this year. It had Anushka Shetty in the lead role and Mukundan as her love interest. The thriller released in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam became a hit at the box office worldwide.
