Character Relationships in Romans

Akash / Fr. Paul (played by Kunchacko Boban) is a protagonist in Romans. One of the two escaped convicts who impersonates a priest in Poomala. Formerly a magician, he initially pretends to be Fr. Paul to evade capture. He plays a central role in uncovering the church's curse, fakes his death to expose the real killer, and ultimately reconciles with Elena before being recaptured and escaping again. Shibu / Fr. Sebastian a.k.a Fr. Sebu (played by Biju Menon) appears in Romans. Akash's accomplice and fellow escaped convict who assumes the identity of Fr. Sebastian. Initially motivated by theft, he gradually participates in the village's events. He witnesses the murderer poisoning the ritual food, which leads to the revelation of the curse's true nature, and ultimately escapes prison with Akash at the film's conclusion. Pappi (played by T G Ravi) appears in Romans. The highly respected elderly photographer in the village and the biological father of the deceased Fr. Rodriguez. Consumed by grief over his son's past, he secretly poisons the ritual food to murder incoming priests, creating the illusion of a supernatural curse. His actions are ultimately exposed and he is arrested. Thommichan (played by Lalu Alex) appears in Romans. The prominent and wealthy figure in Poomala village. He is highly respected and initiates efforts to reopen the century-old Latin Catholic church. Misunderstanding the priests' reluctance, he eagerly prepares for their arrival, inadvertently setting the stage for Akash and Shibu's mistaken identity. Geevarghese (played by Nelson Sooranad) appears in Romans. A local preacher who initially distrusts the new priests. During an incident involving a mentally unstable woman, he is accidentally electrocuted while trying to intervene. The event inadvertently cures the woman but leaves Geevarghese himself insane, further fueling the villagers' belief in the priests' divine powers. Fr. Rodriguez (played by Arun Ghosh) appears in Romans. The former priest of the church who tragically died out of guilt after a local girl's suicide following a confessed affection. Believed to have placed a curse on the church, his historical tragedy is the root of the village's superstition, and his reputation is ultimately defended by Akash at the film's end.
