Mammootty said, “In the film, the way I understood the character Walter is that he is the childhood hero of these boys. At some point, he had left the town. All of them are from Kochi. After a long time, when he returns, it is mainly to surprise these boys. He speaks the Kochi slang from the time when he left the place. I tried to speak that language and shape the look in a way that the identity of the character does not get lost. He is not speaking the Kochi language that is spoken now.
He is speaking the older Kochi slang. Because of that, the present-day kids might feel a slight disconnect. But if you look at it that way, it will connect.”He also made it clear that he did not improvise anything for the role. He simply followed what the makers wanted.
