These studios would sign their actors, and the actors were easily recognized by their studios. The Udaya Pictures were set up in 1947 by Kunchacko’s grandpa and ruled the industry for decades. After his grandpa died, Udaya Pictures went through a financial crisis. The movie industry, however, came back to life when they relaunched Udaya Pictures.
Aside from acting in Mollywood, Kunchacko Boban also produced movies in Kerala. His first movie was Gulumal: The Escape, which transformed his image.
