There are some movie scenes that never really go away. One such scene is from 'Salam Kashmir'. It is the moment when Suresh Gopi’s character introduces Jayaram as Major Sreekumar. Jayaram then walks forward slowly while the “Paappapaa…” background music plays. Although 'Salam Kashmir' was a flop, that music and walk is still viral on social media.
'Salam Kashmir' was directed by Joshiy. Jayaram played the lead role. Suresh Gopi also appeared in an important role. The film did not do well in theatres. It got poor reviews and became a big flop. Many scenes from the movie were trolled badly. But among all of them, the “Paappapaa…” entry scene stood out.
