There is no Malayali who does not know Mammootty. But how many people know about his family? When I say family, I don’t mean his wife and Dulquer. How many people know his father and family? Janardhanan, who is one of the unique artists in Malayalam, is talking about him now.
He and Mammootty have a very close relationship. Mammootty himself has said many times earlier that Janardhanan was the only person he knew when Mammootty entered the film industry. Now Janardhanan on how the two first met. Meanwhile, he also talks about Mammootty’s father.
“I have met Mammootty’s father even before I met him. It was during the shooting in Kottayam. A place called Chemb comes after Vaikom Junction. There is a tea shop there. It is the place to get good tea. He was drinking tea at six in the morning. Then someone came to me. Nothing like this. That man was 10,000 times more handsome than this. That’s how we got to know each other. And spoke. He said that he wants to act in my own movie. That’s how I got to know Mammootty” – says Janardhanan.
“We are a native. There is a lot of experience and age. When I came into the film, I knew very few people in the film. Janardanam Chettan was the only one who could be called an acquaintance at that time. He also told many people that Mammootty is my native. At that time, I could not get such happiness and recognition. It was a great courage” – this is what Mammootty said about Janardhanan.
