For Malayalis, Napoleon is synonymous with the character of Mundakkal Sekaran. In the iconic film "Devasuram," narrating the vendetta between two feudal families, Mohanlal played Mangalassery Neelakandan, while Napoleon essayed the role of Mundakkal Shekaran. Much like Neelakandan, Shekaran became a character much loved by fans.
Napoleon, the Malayalees' Mundakkal Shekaran, currently lives in the United States with his family. Fourteen years ago, they moved to the US for the treatment of their son Dhanush, who suffers from muscular dystrophy. Although initially they moved to the US for medical reasons, later Napoleon and his family purchased a house and settled down at Palm Beach, Florida. The renowned actor Napoleon, who is also a former Union Minister, now enjoys a luxurious life on his 300-acre farm, engaged in vegetable cultivation, dairy farming, and wine production.
