Sreenivasan and Innocent, two prominent figures in Malayalam cinema, shared a deep friendship that extended beyond their professional collaborations. Known for their comedic talents, Sreenivasan once played a prank on Innocent during the filming of *Sanmanassullavarkku Samadhanam* in 1986. He had Innocent unknowingly sign a legal document on actual stamp paper, which stated that Innocent was transferring all his properties to Sreenivasan. Upon realizing the prank, Innocent confronted Sreenivasan, humorously expressing his fears of becoming homeless. Their bond was further highlighted by Innocent's past support for Sreenivasan during his wedding. Innocent, who was also a producer, writer, and politician, served as a member of the Lok Sabha from 2014 to 2019 and passed away in 2023. Sreenivasan, a celebrated screenwriter and actor, continued to impact the industry until his own passing in 2025.
