Actor Siddique said that Mammootty was able to play the role only because Lijo Jose Pellissery made the story of ‘Nanpakal Nerath Mayakka’ and approached Mammootty. Siddique also said that Mammootty did not go and meet Lijo after making the story of ‘Nanpakal Nerath Mayakkum’. The actor said this in an interview given to Movie Man Broadcast.
‘Now Lijo Jose Pellissery made the film ‘Nanpakal Nereth Mayakkum’ and he was able to do it only because he went to Mammooka with the role. Besides, Mammooka didn’t call Lijo Jose Pellissery after making a ‘morning nap’.
The reason why they call him when such films come is because he has done such roles well before. He can do that because such characters come looking for Mammooka. When such films come Mammukka is ready to take them and make them which is a good thing. But such characters cannot be made with Mammukka. Such characters are created by someone else and done by him.
While appreciating Mammukkah, we should also appreciate the people behind his films. I have often felt that when people praise Mammuka for ‘Bhishma Parvam’, ‘Roshak’ and ‘Nanpakal Nereth Mayakkum’, people mistake the people behind them. It should not be forgotten’, said Siddique.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS: Behind the success of every mammooty film there is a crew and we should compliment says actor siddique
