Achuthan Nair (played by Thilakan) is a protagonist in Chenkol. An idealistic and honest police constable whose rigid adherence to law and shame over his son's moral decline lead to family disintegration. His transfer to Ramapuram triggers the inciting incident. After Sethu's conviction, he succumbs to alcoholism and despair, ultimately committing suicide upon discovering his other daughter's exploitation, symbolizing the collapse of institutional integrity and paternal authority. Ammu (played by Kaviyoor Ponnamma) appears in Chenkol. Sethu's mother and the family's emotional core. She consistently demonstrates unconditional love and resilience, welcoming Sethu back from prison with joy and bearing witness to the family's tragic unraveling, though she lacks the agency to alter the course of events. Indu (played by Surbhi Zaveri Vyas) appears in Chenkol. The illegitimate daughter of Keerikadan Jose, who grows up ostracized by her father's criminal legacy. She shows compassion to Sethu, encourages his attempts at rehabilitation, and becomes his wife, symbolizing cross-generational redemption and the possibility of an honest life beyond criminal circles. Rameshan (played by Yadu Krishnan) appears in Chenkol. Sethu's younger brother studying medicine, initially distant due to family reputation. Keerikadan Jose (played by Mohan Raj) appears in Chenkol. A ruthless local don whose extortion racket and violent nature dominate Ramapuram. His brutal assault on Achuthan Nair inadvertently sparks Sethu's transformation. Though killed in the first film, his legacy of vengeance and illegitimate family drive the conflict and societal stigma in the sequel.
