John Jaffer Janardhanan (1982) is remake of Amar Akbar Antony (1977) and it was directed by IV Sasi. Mammootty, Ratheesh, Ravindran, Jose Prakash in lead. Hindi version was huge hit so they remade it in Malayalam.
Chandran, a driver working for a smuggler Robert on the run from the police and leaves his three sons in a park. All of them are found and raised separately-the eldest becomes a Hindu police officer, the youngest becomes a Muslim tailor/singer and the middle son becomes a Christian hooligan. Years later, they find themselves all donating blood to a woman in a hospital by coincidence. All three meet and fall in love with different women, but when one of them is kidnapped by Robert (whose fortunes have changed again and is now a bigger smuggler); they all (women included) become involved in the struggle for her release.
Movie becomes one of the super hits of 1982 and three roles well accepted by the audiences. It was another hit from T. Damodaran and I. V Sasi team.
