The IV Sasi directorial, which was shot in Singapore and Kerala, had Mohanlal playing a wealthy businessman named Sunny who falls for Sandra. He decides to get married to her but he soon finds out that the latter is an escort hired by his rival. The film had Meena take up a role that many lead actresses would have shunned during the late 90s. Through the role, she once again proved she could ace both urban and rustic roles.

Drishyam 2

If Drishyam was more Mohanlal’s film, its sequel, which revolved around the cops finding out the body and apprehending the prime suspect Georgekutty, also provided ample scope for Meena to perform. The actress embodied the trauma and guilt that came with covering up a crime and living with the secret for years together, while her husband remained non-communicative to protect the family.

The film, which was one of Mohanlal’s final larger-than-life characters in the 2000s, had the duo sharing a different equation. Meena played the character of Mohanlal’s childhood love Indu, who was married to his friend. As Chirackal Sreehari, Mohanlal straddled the ‘mass’ hero image while also adding emotional depth to his character who is blamed for a murder he didn’t commit and has to endure loss.
