Mistaken Karthi Jayasurya for Kunchako Boban at Ponniyin Selvan 2 promotions in Kerala; VIDEO

Ponniyin Selvan 2 is all set for release and the team has been busy promoting the movie across the country. The cast of the film was recently in Kochi, Kerala to promote the film and one of the videos of the event has since gone viral featuring one of the major stars Karthi. The actor, who took the stage to thank the audience and industry friends who were there to support the film, got a little tongue when he called actor Jayasurya by the wrong name. The Malayalam actor, who was on hand to support the Ponniyin Selvan team, was credited as Kunchako Boban, yet another superstar of Malayalam cinema, in Karthi’s acceptance speech. There was a distinct moment of doubt in the face of presenter and actor Jayaram, who is also present on stage alongside Karthi.

Karthi mistakes Jayasurya for Kunchako Boban

This strange occurrence is going viral on the internet and fans are laughing at the little confusion. The video also features a stunned reaction from actor Jayasurya, who is clearly confused about what is happening on stage. Karthi seems to have confused the two actors and refers to Jayasurya as “Chakochan”, a nickname used in the industry, and fans refer to actor Kunchako Boban who was not even present at the event. Ponniyin Selvan 2 is an ensemble period piece starring Vikram, Jayam Ravi and Aishwarya Rai along with Karthi. The film is one of the biggest Tamil films of this year and is expected to be the box office collection of the first installment.
