Malayalam actor Rajesh Hebbar is going viral for his rock covers
From his big-screen debut in Chithrakoodam (2003), directed by Pradeep Kumar, to his recent performance in Abhinav Sunder Nayak’s Mollywood Times, he has remained a steady presence in Malayalam cinema for over two decades. His memorable turns as scheming villains on television only cemented that popularity.Today, however, a younger audience knows him for something entirely different: his rock covers. Renditions of classics like Scorpions’ ‘Wind of Change’ and Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ have earned him a loyal following, introducing many to a side of Rajesh they had never seen before.His love for music dates back to his college days at Government Victoria College, Palakkad, where he played in a classic rock band called Primitive Knights. Active from the late 1980s through the 1990s, the band performed across south India.
