Character Relationships in Padakkalam

Renjith (played by Sharafudheen) is a protagonist in Padakkalam. Charismatic faculty member who uses an ancient artifact to manipulate Professor Shaji and secure the Head of Department position. He possesses Jithin via a blood-stained die, triggers a three-way body swap, and attempts to permanently inhabit Jithin's body due to personal desperation and a medical condition. Defeated in a supernatural game, he is left injured and unconscious after a dramatic fall. Jithin (played by Sandeep Pradeep) appears in Padakkalam. Engineering student whose life is disrupted when Renjith possesses him using a magical artifact. He leads his friends to steal the artifact, survives a three-way body swap where he temporarily inhabits Professor Shaji's body, and successfully completes the artifact's game to restore everyone. He gains a new life perspective and amicably ends his relationship with Jeevika. Shaji (played by Suraj Venjaramoodu) appears in Padakkalam. Professor initially manipulated by Renjith's artifact, causing him to lose his candidacy for Head of Department. After a body swap, he temporarily inhabits Renjith's body, briefly enjoys the privileged lifestyle, but regains his conscience. He helps defeat Renjith using alcohol as leverage and makes a sacrificial leap from a window to ensure Renjith's defeat, later reconciling with his wife. Kannan (played by Saaf) appears in Padakkalam. Member of Jithin's student group who discovers that completing a specific artifact game with a special lock is the only way to free Jithin from Renjith's possession. He actively participates in the group's efforts to defeat Renjith. Nakul (played by Arun Ajikumar) appears in Padakkalam. One of the four main engineering students at the college. He is part of Jithin's friend group that witnesses the artifact's power and collaborates on the plan to steal it and ultimately stop Renjith's supernatural manipulation. Jeevika (played by Niranjana Anoop) appears in Padakkalam. Jithin's girlfriend who confronts him about their relationship early on. After the supernatural conflict concludes, Jithin speaks with her, and they amicably part ways as he embraces a new perspective on life.

Renjith's wife who leaves him after he gets into trouble due to Renjith's manipulations. She later reveals her pregnancy to Jithin (in Shaji's body), triggering Shaji's change of heart.
