Kochi: Anyone who has watched No. 1 Snehatheeram Bangalore North won’t forget the pretty little girl, Lakshmi Marikkar, who played Mammootty’s niece in the film.
Well, the child artiste has blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Interestingly, Lakshmi's relaunch vehicle is not Mollywood, but the controversial Kiss of Love campaign against moral policing.
The Kochi lass was spotted at Marine Drive when she was there to attend the second edition of the protest, which was held in Kochi last week.
Apparently, Anarkali Marikkar who appears in a lead role in the recent hit Aanandam, is Lakshmi’s sister.
Lakshmi and AnarkaliNo.1 Snehatheeram Bangalore North was a Sathyan Anthikad flick released in 1995. An avid theatre buff, Lakshmi is currently pursuing her graduation at JNU, New Delhi. When asked if she would come back to films she said, “No, not in the near future.”
