Nivin Pauly is one of those actors from the younger generation of Malayalam cinema, who earned the ‘star’ status in true sense. With his fantastic debut in Malarvadi Arts Club and the dream run at the box office with back-to-back celebrated outings including Thattathin Marayathu, Bangalore Days, and the blockbuster Premam, Nivin established himself as one of the most bankable stars in the industry. The actor also carved a niche for himself in the quintessential boy-next-door roles over the years.

However, things have not been going well for Nivin Pauly for the last few years, owing to the long list of forgettable outings, and announced projects that disappeared without a trace. But now, the actor’s fans believe that things are getting back on track for him, as he is set to reunite with his frequent collaborator and mentor, Vineeth Sreenivasan.

Will Nivin Pauly’s cameo in Varshangalkku Shesham change the game for him?

After a long period of uninspiring projects, Nivin Pauly surprised the fans by deciding to collaborate with Vineeth Sreenivasan, the celebrated filmmaker. For the uninitiated, Nivin and Vineeth together have produced many notable films and have been considered one of the most loved actor-director duos of Malayalam cinema. However, this time, the actor is not playing the lead role but is appearing in a special role in the director’s next outing, Varshangalkku Shesham.

But Nivin Pauly’s reunion with his mentor, and his decision to share the screen with young stars including Pranav Mohanlal, Kalyani Priyadarshan, and Dhyan Sreenivasan, is a wise move. The actor needs a memorable role that will create an impact among the audiences, after the long list of creative and commercial duds in his career. Even though Nivin’s decision to move out of his comfort zone with a different project deserves appreciation, most of the creative choices did not work for the actor, especially after his notable performance in Moothon.
