I had stepped down into a pond in my ancestral house to catch a cobra snake \u2026 While stepping down, I slipped and fell and hit my head. That\u2019s how I got this scar,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The actor added that the pond, surrounded by pineapple groves, was often frequented by snakes. On that particular day, he spotted a cobra while fishing and attempted to catch it. Instead, he slipped, fell on a stone and injured his head.<\/p>\n<p>Director Althaf Salim, who was present during the interview, interrupted playfully: \u201cI think he went there to convince the snake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krishna laughed off the incident, recalling that mischief was part of his daily routine as a child. \u201cIt was just the fun of that age. That\u2019s how I enjoyed my childhood. Eventually, I was beaten up for chasing the cobra, on top of the injury I had already sustained from the fall. Every day there was something or the other I\u2019d get scolded or beaten for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mathrubhumi.com\/movies-music\/interview\/suresh-krishna-convincing-star-a3494213\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Convincing Star<\/a>\u2019 moniker, which has become a social-media trend, stems from Krishna\u2019s recurring roles where his characters manipulate or persuade others, often leading them into bigger troubles. The label first gained traction with his role as George Kutty in the Mohanlal-starrer \u2018Christian Brothers\u2019. In a pivotal scene, his character commits a murder and then convinces Mohanlal\u2019s character to hold the weapon and face the police, promising to return with an attorney. Clips of the scene, set against the song \u201cPanineer Nilavin Poomazha,\u201d later went viral, cementing Krishna\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>While trolls popularised the title, fans now affectionately associate it with Krishna\u2019s ability to deliver convincing performances, particularly in antagonistic roles where he deceives protagonists or supporting characters.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, \u2018Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira\u2019, Althaf Salim\u2019s second directorial after \u2018Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela\u2019 (2017), is slated for release on August 29 2025. The film also features an ensemble cast including Vinay Forrt, Lal, Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, Vineeth Thattil David, Babu Antony, Noby Marcose, Saafboi and Anuraj OB, with music by Justin Varghese.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our NewsletterGet Latest Mathrubhumi Updates in English<a class=\"bg-[#128C7E] rounded-[10px] px-[10px] py-2 text-[14px] font-medium leading-4 whitespace-nowrap  h-[30px]\" type=\"button\" aria-labelledby=\"Follow on Whatsapp\" title=\"Follow on Whatsapp\" href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"content-font text-primary\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Disclaimer: Kindly avoid objectionable, derogatory, unlawful and lewd comments, while responding to reports.
