About
Kunchacko Boban turned Malayalam cinema's romantic hero archetype into a two-decade reign, then deliberately dismantled it. Born in India in 1976, he debuted as a child in Dhanya (1981) and broke through as an adult in Fazil's 1997 romantic drama Aniyathipraavu opposite Shalini, which became the highest-grossing Malayalam film at the time. After a career setback and three-year hiatus, he returned in 2009 and reinvented himself across genres—drama, thriller, satire—winning the Kerala State Film Award for Nna Thaan Case Kodu. A Scorpio [birth fact] known for dancing skills, he also produces films through his own house.

Biography
Kunchacko Boban is a screenwriter and actor who works in Malayalam cinema. Born November 2, 1976, in India, he began as a child performer in Dhanya (1981), produced by his father Boban Kunchacko. His adult debut in Aniyathipraavu (1997)—a romantic drama directed by Fazil opposite Shalini—immediately established him as bankable: the film became the highest-grossing Malayalam release to date. Through the late 1990s, he and Shalini reunited in Nakshatratharattu (1998), Niram (1999), and Prem Poojari (1999), cementing his "chocolate boy" romantic-hero brand across more than 100 films. Mid-2000s box-office stumbles prompted a three-year break; he returned in 2009 with Gulumal: The Escape and deliberately shifted into varied character work. His critically and commercially successful roles in Traffic (2011), How Old Are You? (2014), Vettah (2016), Take Off (2017), Virus (2019), Anjaam Pathiraa (2020), Nayattu (2021), Pada (2022), Nna Thaan Case Kodu (2022), 2018 (2023), Bougainvillea (2024), and Officer on Duty (2025) showcased his range. He won the Kerala State Film Award for the satire Nna Thaan Case Kodu; the ensemble thriller 2018 became the highest-grossing Malayalam film to that point. As a producer, he revived Udaya Studios in 2016 with Kochavva Paulo Ayyappa Coelho and founded Kunchacko Boban Productions, debuting with Ariyippu (2022), which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and was nominated for Golden Leopard. Life Path 9 [enrichments] and a Scorpio [birth fact], he is also recognized for his dancing abilities.
