He lives with his family including his mother Janaki (Kaviyoor Ponnamma), two sisters, brother Hari (Sudeesh), grandma, and uncle Panattu Sankaran Nair (Oduvil Unnikrishnan). Menon arrives at Gopi’s (Jagadish) home and creates a ruckus. Following Menon, Janaki’s elder brother Panattu Govindan Nair (MS Thripunithura) arrives, as Gopi owes him Rs. 75000.
