You cannot conceive of a character as deep, dynamic, and complex as Georgekutty unless you are certain that the man you have chosen to play this role can pull it off.
This is where the L factor kicks in. (1/2)

The GOAT is still making chart history.
Michael Jackson just became the first and only act to earn a new Billboard Hot 100 hit in each of the last six consecutive decades, spanning the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
His song “Chicago” debuted at No. 30 this week, marking his 52nd career solo entry and first lead-role Hot 100 appearance since “Slave to the Rhythm” in 2014. The track was officially released 12 years ago and was reportedly first recorded in 1999.
Michael Jackson lost EVERY Grammy on this night, then he did this..
The irony of it was that.. Nobody remembers the Winners again that night and in history..his performance overpowered all of them
