Some of the things that director Jio Bobby said about Kathal movie are going viral. Here are the things he said. Jio says that he had another actor in mind instead of Mammootty. Even if Mammootty did not play the role of Mathew, Jio Baby says that he would have completed the film. He also revealed that he had another actor in mind. At first Suraj’s name came as a suggestion. But Jio Baby says that Mammooka’s face came to his mind as soon as he heard the story. ‘ I have only been to Mammooka. Suraj’s name came up as a suggestion and he would have done this film even without Mammooka. But the decision was made to go to Mammooka first and then the rest will be enough.
‘It’s just that the suggestion came when I, Adarsh and Paulson were together. Mammooka thought it would be better if she did that. Mammooka felt the same. Everything else was a second option. Even without him, we would have made this film’ says Jio. ‘Adarsh and Paulson were not previously acquainted, they came to tell the story. When I got to it, there were changes in the screen play. As soon as I read the story, I felt that Mammootty should do it.’
Directed by Jio Baby with Mammootty and Jyothika in the lead roles, Kathal is running in the theaters with good reviews. The film is produced by Mammootty’s company. After 13 years, the film also has the distinction of starring Tamil star Sundri Jyothika in Malayalam.
