The Malayalam film 'Aashakal Aayiram', featuring real-life father and son Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram, has garnered significant attention and box office success.

The film's narrative openly addresses nepotism within the film industry, an aspect that has drawn commentary due to the lead actors' familial relationship. While Jayaram is appreciated for his lifelike portrayal, Kalidas Jayaram's performance has received mixed reactions.
