Recently Ottapalam, particularly Manissery, has become a popular shooting spot for Malayalam and Tamil movies. Manissery is famous for Varikkaseri Mana, where many Malayalam movies are picturised.
Looking back, twenty five years and beyond to the scenic of Ottapalam, Ottapalam was a sleepy town–there is not much of a change to it even now, except a few new buildings. The local administration area has enlarged, so also the population from approx. 40,000 to over 60,000. The vehicle population is brimming to breach Ottapalam.
