It’s been 27 years since the Mammootty-Shaji Kailas-Renji Panicker political thriller 'The King' hit the big screen. November 11th, 1995, to be precise. Shaji Kailas wrote on social media that he was ecstatic to share his happiness with Megastar Mammootty on the special occasion.

“It’s hard to believe that 27 years have passed since the daring and irrepressible bureaucrat Joseph Alex IAS walked into the big screen. I am so lucky to celebrate this memorable moment with dear Mammootty who is as solid as before.
