My son started acting in the first film with his blessings. Mammootty was there to comfort my mother when she was sick
It is often the intention of society to see those who have worked in the same field and created successes as mutual enemies. They just pretend that they are always competing with each other and cutting heels. There will be many, many stories following that. They are considered true, even if they are baseless.

This is also true of me and Mammootty. The truth is that we are the ones who laugh out loud when we hear such stories. How many years have I been in a relationship with Mammootty whom I call Ichaka? Memories go back to the days of the movie 'Padayottam'. Thirty - nine long years. But that is true. There is no change in Mammootty's body, body language, mannerisms, and attitudes.
The most important thing is the care he shows in keeping the body fat-free. As the voice of the singer, the greatest asset of an actor is his own body. The greatest duty is to preserve it. I have seen only one person who has been following this order for years.
That is Mammootty. This is what I am most jealous of Mammootty. (Mammootty does not need any Ayurvedic treatment. He should learn Ayurveda from Mammootty and not from Ayurveda.) Self-control should be learned from Mammootty. We have often eaten together in many places. Mammootty does not eat more than the required amount. No matter who they are, no matter how much they love them, Mammootty will not back down from his decision no matter what. My behaviour is quite the opposite. I can't carry any restrictions on a regular basis. I am unconditionally subject to the compulsions of friends and the church. I have sworn many times that 'I will never be like this again, especially when it comes to food. The experience of such vows should last for hours.
We have acted in more than fifty-three films together. I have never tried to act like Mammootty or Mammootty like me. The main reason is that we knew better than anyone else that we are two completely different human beings and two artists. Mammootty was born just to act. He was already well-determined in his goal and path. That is why his every step was so determined. Even today, his passion is cinema. Sathyan Anthikkad often reminds us of a sentence uttered by Mammootty. "Cinema doesn't need us, we want cinema." Knowing this well, Mammootty climbed to great heights through hard work. There were signs of determination on each of those steps.

My case is the other way around. I have said it many times in many places. The film was never my dream or goal, ever. I still do not know if this is my job. I'm here in a flurry of friendships. No training was received. No preparations are made for acting. It's just that you do it with the prayer, 'Everything is straight.' We have these two differences. And may know each other. So there is no rivalry between us. I know that it would be better if Mammootty did some characters and he would do better if I did some.
Ichaka also has small stalks with seriousness and a bit of sharpness. I have often discovered that. For example, we need Mammootty for the next 16th for one thing. If you are asked if the sixteenth day will come, the first answer will be 'No, not then'. So never say that the 16th is our need. Instead, ask first on the 12th or 13th, "I do not think so." Then ask if it is the 16th. That's okay. All we need is the same day. I call it സ്നേഹകുറുമ്പ് (Mammootty may change his mind after reading this).
Mammootty and his family were with me and my family as a loving presence in all personal pleasures and sorrows. My son started acting in the first film with his blessings. Mammootty was there to comfort my mother when she was ill. When my daughter Vismaya's book of poetry came out, we were very happy to read the note written by Mammootty's son about it. I remember Dulquer ending the post by saying 'Chaluchettan'. What more could be needed as proof of the love that flows through the generations? May Mammootty be here as always handsome and loving. May he have many more good characters. May we be proud to see it.
