An Indian actor became a record holder by playing 45 roles in one movie at once, but he has a competitor (photo, video)
The world record was set by the Indian actor Johnson George, who skillfully played 45 famous characters from history in the movie Aaranu Njan (2018): Jesus, Leonardo da Vinci, Charlie Chaplin, Che Guevara, Maria Teresa, etc.
What the movie is about
“Aaranu Njan is a Malayalam drama film directed by Unnikrishnan P. Р. It was released in March 2018 and runs for 1 hour and 47 minutes. Jayachandran Thagasikaran, Muhammad Nilambur and Johnson George play the main roles.
What is the movie about? Mostly, these are the thoughts, research, and observations of the main character named Globeman. He is a world traveler who carries the globe on his shoulder and constantly asks himself “Who am I?”
The plot has many fantastic inclusions. For example, when the protagonist sees a statue of the national hero Mahatma Gandhi, he thinks about him and… becomes him for a moment. In total, Globman “transformed” into 45 historical figures and showed what their reaction to today’s realities would be.
The mysterious record holder
Indian actor Johnson George is a “ghost man”. All that is known is that he was born on May 24, 1964, in Chengannur, a small town in the Indian state of Kerala. Prior to the release of the record-breaking film, he had no high-profile premieres, and his filmography on various websites lists only one project. It’s worth noting that Johnson George was not only an actor in Aaran Njan, but also responsible for producing it.
Challenge accepted
We would like to remind you that Johnson George, having played 45 historical figures in one film, entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2018. As of today, no one has managed to break this record. However, we already know the name of the person who will do it in 2024.
It is about the actor and director Mart Sander. He played 48 roles in the fantastically autobiographical horror film Dr. Sander’s Sleep Cure! The premiere is scheduled for February 2024, at the 25th Nevermore Film Festival. The movie shows the protagonist’s struggle with insomnia. His search for effective methods often takes a surreal turn…
Mart Sander was surprised to learn that an unknown film was leading the record book in the category he was nominated for: “I have serious doubts about this movie ( Aaranu Njan – Ed.). I can’t find any information about him anywhere. The IMDb entry is empty. The director and actor of the film, probably under the pseudonym “Johnson George,” are completely unknown.” Anyway, the application to the Guinness Book of Records has been submitted. We are waiting for your registration confirmation.
