Kunchacko Boban is an Indian film actor who has starred in over 60 Malayalam films.

Kunchacko Boban made his acting debut in Fazil's Aniyathipraavu (1997) which turned out to be a blockbuster and made him into an overnight sensation.

After a couple of commercial failures, his career took a set back in the mid-2000s. He made a comeback with Gulumaal (2009)[5] which was well received. Later, he went on to act in successful films such as Elsamma Enna Aankutty (2010), Traffic (2011), Seniors (2011),[6] Ordinary (2012), Romans (2013), Pullipulikalum Aattinkuttiyum (2013), How Old Are You?

In Nakshathrathaarattu, he was again cast opposite Shalini. Then he played a cameo in Fazil's Harikrishnans, which marked the reunion of Mohanlal and Mammootty after 9 years. Then came a streak of Chandamama, an average film at the box office, and he went on to do Ingane Oru Nilapakshi, Prem Poojari, Sahayathrikakku Snehapoorvam etc. He had a single success in 1999, Kamal's Niram, which featured him opposite Shalini for the final time.

After Niram, Dosth and Narendran Makan Jayakanthan Vaka, his next films included Kasthooriman, and Swapnakkoodu. The movie Ee Snehatheerathu earned him a Special Jury Award at the 2004 Kerala State Film Awards.

In 2009, he appeared in Gulumal: The Escape, Mummy & Me, Sakudumbam Shyamala and Lal Jose's Elsamma Enna Aankutty. His first release in 2011 was Traffic. His later releases included Seniors, Three Kings, Sevens and Doctor Love. In 2011, he won the Youth Icon of the Year award at the Asianet Film Awards.[citation needed] In 2012 he featured in three films, Spanish Masala, Ordinary and Mallu Singh.
