Mammootty is an actor in all senses of the word. It was his childhood dream to act in a movie, become a great star, earn the love and respect of the people of his land and his country. Mammootty's father, Mr.Ismail is an Agriculturist and his mother, Mrs. Fathima is a housewife. He has a daughter, Surmi and a son, Dulquar Salman.
Mammootty's histrionic talents cannot be judged by the common yardstick for natural emoting. Mammootty recreates. It comes as a result of deliberate effort-homework. True to the modernistic tradition Mammootty embodies the spirit of true professionalism and like any other professional he accepts roles that his job demands of him-so naturally , he plays character that seem facile or undemanding along with roles that test his talents.
No director would have this difficulty with Mammootty as the actor. Mammootty's portrayals have etched an image of Mammootty, as Kunhalimarakar in my mind, an image reinterpreted by history, an image quite unlike the war hero. Such an interpretation comes easily to Mammootty far more easily than it does to any other Indian actor. |
