Rockstar priest takes Kerala parish by surprise

Not many were expecting that twist in the flash-mob. When the music and dance reached a crescendo, the young vicar of the parish also stepped in and gave a rock star performance.

Clad in red silk mundu (dhoti) and black shirt, he started shaking a leg with the young boys and girls. The video of the performance has gone viral on YouTube and social media.

The flash-mob was part of the centenary celebrations of the Marika St Antony's Church at Thodupuzha, in Idukky.

With a stylish sun glass and red mundu , Vincent Kuruttuparambil, Vicar of the church, donned the look of Shaji Pappan, the seriously funny character played by Malayalam actor Jayasoorya in the film Aadu Oru Bhigarajeeviaanu.

Though over 100 youngsters performed in the flashmob, Kuruttuparambil stole the show with his performance. Watch him as he shows off his moves at 5.34 minutes into the dance.
