The actor is portraying the main antagonist role of Raghav, son of Malayalam superstar Lalettan and veteran actress Devayani, in the film.

"I have started dubbing for the film and will be done with my schedule by the end of June. Janatha Garage has so far been quite an excited experience. How can it not be? There's Lalettan and Jr NTR in the film. I went on a vacation and have just resumed the shoot."

Unni Mukundan who's riding high delivering hat-trick of success with KL10, Style and the recent release, Oru Murai Vanthu Parthaaya will be looking to start his Telugu career on the same note.

Oru Murai Vanthu Parthaaya was a litmus test for Unni, who has carved a niche at the Kerala Box Office with his stellar performances in films that are heavy on action and romance. The young actor had to shed his six-pack abs to do justice to the role in the film and the hard work paid off as the film impressed the viewers and the critics alike.
