Unni Mukundan and Rajeev Pillai share a unique bond. Their friendship dates back to their club cricket days when Unni used to ride pavilion on Rajeev's bike and go for practice. Those were the days when Unni was yet to begin his acting career. Apart from that they share a love for gym and fitness. A recent incident has further cemented their relationship.

Rajeev narrates that during a recently held celebrity cricket match he had batted non-stop for around 18 overs and had carried the team to victory. Since most of the runs came from running across the wicket, he developed severe dehydration. While running the victory lap, he felt intense cramps all over his body which led to a near death like situation. He was rushed to the hospital and was injected fluids. When he opened his eyes Unni Mukundan along with Riyas Khan and Munna were with him and he felt grateful for their presence with him throughout, instead of celebrating their victory along with the other team mates. And in reel life, Rajeev is playing the anti-hero opposite Unni in Binu S's 'Style'.
