Mollywood actor Vinod Kovoor is a household name among Malayali audience. The talented actor who shot to fame with his character of a fish seller named Moosa in a television comedy serial is now all set to turn a fish seller in his real life as well.

The actor and his friends are planning to open a fish hub named ‘Moosakayi Sea Fresh’ at Kozhikode bypass road ahead of Onam and the final arrangements for the same are in full swing. The actor decided to take up the business after his multiple shoots and stage programs got cancelled due to COVID-19 outbreak.

“COVID has shattered all plans. I don’t have any work related to movies, serials or stage shows. Amidst this crisis, it is really tough to get an artist visa. Once, some of my friends had trolled me that it's better for me to turn into a fish seller like Moosakka,” says Vinod.

It may be remembered that actors Ramesh Pisharody and Dharmajan Bolgatty started a fish hub at 14 centres in Kochi before.Vinod said that home delivery services are available. He added that the franchises of the brand would be opened at various places in the Malabar region.
