Actor Vinay Fort says that Mammooka’s films and characters are the best change that has happened in Malayalam cinema. Vinay Fort said that an actor like Mammootty who continues to do experimental films is a great inspiration and where else would such experiments be done except in Kerala, which has the most freedom of expression.
Isn’t it a great inspiration to have someone like Mammooka doing films like Bhramayuga? If asked what are the best changes that have happened in Malayalam cinema recently, I would say Mammooka’s experiments. Mammooka has done everything to do. Even at this age he is always looking for new stories and characters. He’s kicking it all while actors my age are thinking, oh how will this character affect me if I do it?
Therefore, the best thing that has happened in Malayalam cinema recently is the films Mammooka chooses and the characters he plays. It is hugely motivating for common people like me. After the preview show of Family, many people have asked me after the IFFK screening, what was the motivation to play such a dark character. I said, Sir I am working in Malayalam cinema. Our talathottapan has played roles that are a hundred times darker than all of these.
Someone like me can do anything here when a megastar is fearless doing all kinds of roles. This is Kerala. Freedom of expression is greatest here. If we don’t do it here, someone else will. He is a great inspiration for that.
