At the centre of the story is Nivin Pauly, who plays a tech professional and the son of Kerala’s Chief Minister, portrayed by Balachandra Menon. His character’s life takes a sharp turn when his father becomes embroiled in controversy following an unexpected scandal that unfolds during a televised interview.
Veteran actor-director Balachandra Menon, portraying the controversial Chief Minister Varghese in the recently released film Prathichaya, has clarified that his performance is not an imitation of former Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, despite early speculation, emphasising that creative freedom and character development, not real-life resemblance, guided his portrayal of a morally complex and emotionally vulnerable political figure. The film, directed by B Unnikrishnan, centers on Varghese's career downfall due to a sexual harassment allegation and his son John Varghese's subsequent efforts to restore their family's reputation, with Menon specifically highlighting the compelling father-son relationship as a primary attraction to the project. Menon's performance has been widely praised for its grounded elegance, and he also noted the positive experience of working with younger actors like Nivin Pauly and Sharafudheen, viewing collaborations across generations as a natural part of filmmaking.
