About Prem Nazirine Kanmanilla
A group of frustrated youngsters kidnap the famous Malayalam actor Prem Nazir from his film shooting set.

Directed by Lenin Rajendran, Prem Nazirine Kanmanilla leans on a strong ensemble — Prem Nazir, Sreenivasan, Maniyanpilla Raju — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1983.
