The Pluto cast brings together Neeraj Madhav, Althaf Salim, Aju Varghese and Aarsha Chandini Baiju for a Malayalam alien comedy with a large supporting ensemble. Neeraj plays Vicky, the man pulled into the visitor’s orbit, while Althaf plays the alien at the centre of the story.
Post-release coverage identifies several roles that were missing before opening day. This guide separates the named characters from parts that public credits still do not reliably identify, and connects the ensemble to our Pluto review and 3.5/5 verdict.

Neeraj Madhav plays Vicky
Neeraj Madhav leads Pluto as Vicky. He is the human point of entry into the film’s unusual premise, with his life changing after he encounters an extraterrestrial visitor.
The trailer positions Vicky inside a recognisably local world before the alien arrival turns that reality upside down. That gives Neeraj the job of grounding the science-fiction setup while the comedy grows around him.
Althaf Salim plays the alien
Althaf Salim plays the alien visitor. The visitor is also the figure that gives the film its title: promotional coverage calls him Pluto, while the current cast credit labels the role simply as Alien.
His arrival in Kerala supplies the movie’s central collision between the ordinary and the interstellar. The trailer presents the character as a source of humour and disruption, but the film is also being framed as an adventure with emotional stakes rather than a sketch built around one joke.
Aarsha Chandini Baiju and Aju Varghese are key cast members
Aarsha Chandini Baiju plays Meera, a veterinarian and Vicky’s girlfriend. Her grounded performance gives the human side of the story a steadier centre.
Aju Varghese plays Tiger Thambi, the film’s caricatured antagonist. His intimidating appearance repeatedly collides with the character’s foolish decisions, making him a major source of comedy.
The named supporting characters
Four supporting actors currently have character names attached to their credits:
- Vineeth Thattil David plays Mallan.
- Subin Tarzan plays Jose.
- Nihal Nizam plays Naveen.
- Nimna Fathoomi plays Jomol.
The film has not released detailed character biographies for those roles, so their relationships to Vicky and the alien are best left to the movie rather than expanded into unsupported plot descriptions.
Other confirmed Pluto cast members
The wider ensemble includes Vipin Atley, Dinesh Prabhakar, Thushara Pillai, Zaheer Muhammed and Advaith Ajayan. Dinesh plays a professor or scientist, while public credits do not reliably identify every other individual character.
That distinction matters for Pluto because the trailer uses costumes and genre imagery that can make a character look easy to label. Billing order, makeup and a single shot are not enough to turn an unnamed part into a reliable character description.
