Ooty played the host for many hit movies of the Mohanlal-Priyadarshan duo. They were shooting for their latest movie Oppam in Ootty when the 56 year old superstar, wanting to recollect their good old days and also to pay homage to their old hunting ground asked the veteran director and his close friend, to shoot a scene at the location where the hit song 'Pon Veene' from Thalavattom was shoot .
Priyan immediately got into the mood and they recreated the same frame using the same lens at the same spot where they filmed the song 30 years ago. The two friends were filled with nostalgia and in one voice they said, though they have changed, the trees and slopes at School Manth, the location, remain more or less the same.
