Chandu Salimkumar's 'Chithram' Birthday Wish for Kalyani

Actor Kalyani Priyadarshan celebrated her birthday recently, with wishes pouring in from the film industry. A particularly distinctive greeting came from her 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra' co-star, Chandu Salimkumar. He paid homage to the classic film 'Chithram', directed by Kalyani's father, Priyadarshan, by using a famous dialogue from the movie.

Chandu's message read, "You are the light of my loneliness.. Love of my heart .. Tune of my song.. Dew of my desert.. Queen of my kingdom.. and I love you Kalyanikutty !" This callback to the 1988 film added a deeply personal and entertaining element to his birthday wish. He also shared photos from their time together on set.

A playful edited photo, where Michael B. Jordan's face was superimposed onto Chandu's in a cake-cutting scene, amused fans. This joke resonated as Kalyani had previously admitted to being a significant fan of the Hollywood actor.

The inclusion of the 'Chithram' reference was significant, as the film is a beloved classic known for its emotional depth. The film starred Mohanlal and Ranjini and featured a memorable confession scene. Chandu's tribute was both meaningful and endearing.

Kalyani and Chandu recently collaborated on the film 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra'. Director Dominic Arun also sent warm wishes, sharing a behind-the-scenes photo and expressing his affection for Kalyani.
