# Roshan Shanavas says Glixon is nothing like him in real life 2026-08-25T15:37:33+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Roshan Shanavas, who plays the breakout character Glixon in Girish AD's 'Bethlehem Kudumba Unit', says the character is nothing like him in real life. The actor told Onmanorama that Girish had a very clear idea about Glixon and knew exactly where the humour should come from. Glixon, he said, is simply being himself, which makes the situations funny. Roshan's association with Girish AD began before this film. He was initially approached for 'Premalu 2', but when that project was shelved, Girish brought him into 'Bethlehem Kudumba Unit' as Glixon. The character, who appears to be a typical flirt, develops genuine feelings after meeting Ashley, played by Mamitha Baiju. Roshan says that emotional side made the role interesting to him. Working with Nivin Pauly was a highlight for Roshan. He was initially unsure how comfortable he would be around the actor, but found Nivin made everyone feel at ease. Roshan said that Nivin gives suggestions and feedback on the spot and laughs when he finds something funny, even during shoots. The Goa portions, shot after the cast had spent nearly 80 days together, best showcase the natural chemistry of the cast. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Roshan Shanavas is not a newcomer to Malayalam cinema but 'Bethlehem Kudumba Unit' marks his biggest mainstream visibility yet. The film's success hinges on its ensemble comedy, and Glixon's viral dialogues have given Roshan a career-defining moment. For Girish AD, following up 'Premalu' with another crowd-pleaser solidifies his reputation as a director who creates memorable supporting characters. The next signal for Roshan will be whether this breakout leads to more prominent roles in upcoming Malayalam releases. ## Coverage - onmanorama.com Straight interview-based piece with no editorial slant, leads with actor's own words.
