The true identity of PK Rosy was revealed to be Rajamma. According to Google, during a time when performing arts were prohibited in many areas of society, especially for women, she broke barriers with her performance in the Malayalam movie Vigathakumaran (The Lost Child). In the movie, she played a role in which she lost her child.
According to IMDb, the audience at the Capitol Cinema in Thiruvananthapuram was upset that a Dalit woman had represented the character of a Nair woman in the film. The screening took place when the film was being shown.
