Nivin Pauly opened up about how Alphonse Puthren made them watch the introduction scene of Mohanlal in Spadikam before they filmed the Kalipp scene in Premam. The scene is the second introduction of George and his friends and has them lighting crackers under the stage in college.
Spadikam is the movie that has Mohanlal as 'Aadu Thoma' and is the perfect mix of mass and class. Alphonse had apparently told Nivin, Krishna Shankar and Sabareesh that he will not explain this scene to them and they will have to conceive it themselves by watching Mohanlal's performance. Nivin said that they watched the scene again and again in his caravan and that is why the scene has such level of mass in it.
