Parampara (meaning the succession) is a 1990 Malayalam film, directed by Sibi Malayil,[1] written by S. N. Swamy, and starring Mammootty, Suresh Gopi and Sumalatha. Mammootty plays two roles in the film, portraying both Johnny, the protagonist, and Lawrence, his father.[2] The film was a commercial failure.[3] The film's story was developed by Swamy on the suggestion of Mammootty after watching an English film.[3] The film was loosely remade in Hindi as Phool Aur Kaante (1991) and in Telugu as Varasudu (1993), both of which were commercial successes.
