Kathal – The Core is a film that was released without much promotion. The words of Anagha Ravi, who played Mammootty’s daughter in the film, are now noteworthy. This is what the actor says about coming to the film, I acted in a short film called New Normal. Jio Chetan (director Jio Baby) had called and congratulated him after seeing his performance in it. That’s when he told me about the movie Kathal. I was excited right then. Anagha says that Mammooka has also seen the short film New Normal, and when I got to know that I am acting as her daughter, I knew that I am a good artist and it was thrilling when I got to know that he said that they are enough.
Mammooka is a lot of fun on the sets. In a scene like Krushal, if everyone is saying that I acted well with Mammooka, it’s because of this. It was his input as a co-artist that worked out for me. He felt like his own father without feeling like he was acting. He makes his co-stars so comfortable. Every moment on the sets with Mammooka was fun. Every day there will be something interesting. He talked about working out. They make fun of my dressing. I enjoyed all that. I have many tattoos on my body. The make-up man had a lot of trouble to cover it up before the shot. After putting on my make-up, I would keep my hands off my body so that it wouldn’t stick to my dress. Mammooka, who came to see it, would make fun of her by asking, ‘What are you doing here?’
Jyothika mam is really like mother. Very down to earth. I didn’t have a shoot the day Suriya sir came on set. I was sleeping that day. That’s when Jio Chetan called saying he has a video call shot. He said that no need to come to the location, just make a video call. After that shot, Mammooka asked if you want to meet someone and showed him to Surya sir. He talked to me. Even though I couldn’t meet in person, it was a great pleasure to talk to you. I am in Ernakulam. Father, mother and two brothers at home. Father and mother are teachers. I dropped out in 9th grade and am home schooled. People will ask why you don’t go to school because of the teachers, don’t you miss school and college? But I don’t feel guilty about it. My life is different
