Buddhan Chirikunnu: A tribute to Charlie Chaplin

Indrans who had been keeping his presence alive in the malayalam film industry for the past 3 decades with wide repertoire of over 200 movies in his credit is all set to enthrall the audience enacting the role of Charlie Chaplin. Known for his rail thin figure and peculiarly voice, Indrans will play the lead role in R. Sharath's Buddhan Chirikkunnu which would truly be a tribute to legendary comedian Charlie Chaplin, in the centenary year of his entry into movies. Indrans enacts as Indraguptan, a small-time actor and an ardent fan of Chaplin who tries to imitate him in his own life.

He wears Chaplin's signature costume from the movie 'The Tramp', complete with a toothbrush moustache, baggy clothes and a bowler hat. The dilemmas and conflicts faced by Indraguptan form the crux of the movie.
