Production

[edit]

In this film Kalabhavan Mani was reported to play a double role;[4] however, the reports were proven false. Tamil actress Jayashree made her Malayalam debut through this film.[4] The film began shooting on 15 November 2009.[4] Kshanakkathu-fame Niyaz played a negative role in this film as he did with several films of the 2000s.[3]

Reception

[edit]

Veeyen of Nowrunning wrote that "Annarakkannanum Thannalayathu fits into the Kalabhavan Mani film mould quite adeptly. What I mean is, it starts off with an introduction to the village bumpkin with loads of goodness in the heart, lets him break into a foot tapping song quite soon enough, has him bash up a couple of baddies who simply refuse to listen to him, fall in love with a woman who sees the real him, and finally walk off into the sunset with the girl and his aides in tow".[5]
