BJP hopes to open Kerala account with Suresh Gopi

The occasion? He was there to attend the wedding of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and popular Malayalam actor Suresh Gopi's daughter Bhagya.

Modi took centre stage during the ceremony and participated in the Kanyadaanam, a ritual which is usually performed by the bride's father. Modi's participation in the wedding of Gopi's daughter underscores the importance he attaches to the Thrissur constituency, which goes to polls on April 26.

It also highlights the level of confidence and trust Modi reposes in Gopi's candidature, who at the peak of his cinematic career in the 1990s, had given a stiff competition to the reigning Malayalam superstars Mammooty Mohanlal in terms of sheer popularity and box-office numbers.

and The BJP is now hoping to cash in on Gopi's mass appeal, which he had cultivated while essaying the roles of moustache-twirling cops in several runaway Malayalam super hits like Commissioner, FIR, and Ekalavyan.
