Deepu G Panicker

Deepu G Panicker, man, this guy’s face has been popping up all over Malayalam cinema in the past few years. If you’ve watched anything remotely decent from Kerala lately, chances are you’ve spotted him. He first showed up in Maradona back in 2018—yeah, that movie with Tovino and all the attitude. And honestly, Deepu didn’t just fade away like some random side character. Nah, he’s been picking up steam, stacking up roles in both the artsy stuff and the big commercial blockbusters. People went wild for Ayyappanum Koshiyum in 2020, right? One of those movies everyone and their uncle talked about. Deepu was in that too—solid performance, didn’t just blend into the background. Then came Nadanna Sambhavam and Pavi Caretaker in 2024, both of which did pretty well, not just with critics but at the box office too. Guess he’s got a knack for picking the right scripts. And don’t get me started on Payinkili, which is set for 2025. There’s already a bit of buzz, people are curious what angle he’ll bring this time. But hey, Deepu isn’t just sticking to films. He’s done his bit in web series too—remember Menaka on ManoramaMAX in 2019? Directed by Praveen Nair, that one. Shows he’s not afraid to dabble in different formats, which is kinda rare for a lot of film guys. Long story short: Deepu G Panicker’s got range, confidence, and the kind of screen presence that makes you stop scrolling for a second. Malayalam cinema’s definitely better with him around.
