Undapakru as Jayaram's father!

Almost all of us know of Ajaykumar alias Undapakru, who entered the Guinness Book of Records for being the shortest actor to play a full-length lead role in director Vinayan's Albhutha Dweep, which was dubbed in almost all South Indian languages.

An Economics graduate and diploma holder in Computer Science, he started his career as a mimicry artist and debuted in films with a children’s film Ambili Ammavan in 1984. In a career spanning more than 25 years, Undapakru has acted in 30 Malayalam and 3 Tamil films and is all set to debut in Kannada with a silent film titled Mirror.

Now, the news is that this 'little man' will soon act as Jayaram's father in a new Malayalam movie titled My Big Father, to be directed by Mahesh P. Sreenivasan. Undapakru will be seen as Kunjumon, a specialist in making biriyani, who runs a catering service along with his son Albie (Jayaram).

The film is scheduled to start rolling by the first week of August in Ernakulam, Goa and Pondicherry. Produced by Time Ads, it is scripted by Satheesh K. Sivan and Suresh Menon.
