The actor, who brought to life several memorable characters in a career spanning five decades, has been laid to rest at the St Thomas Cathedral at Irinjalakuda in Thrissur. His tombstone, engraved with images of 30 characters immortalised by the actor, is drawing people's attention.
Characters from hit Malayalam films like 'Kabooliwala', 'Devaasuram', 'Raavanaprabhu', 'Phantom Pailey', 'Manichitrathazhu', 'Ishtam', 'Oru Indian Pranayakadha', 'Mannar Mathai Speaking', 'Paappi Appacha', 'Mithunam', 'Vietnam Colony', 'Pranchiyettan & the Saint', 'Kalyanaraman', 'Vettam', 'Godfather', 'Sandhesam' are some of the characters to name.
Not just that, the plaque bearing his name and other details has been designed like a reel. The unique tribute was the idea of Innocent's grandchildren, Innocent Jr and Anna.
