I've not been Mammootty for many years now. I've not had the time to remain myself. I've immersed myself in playing so many characters over the years. I think over time I became them. Maybe that is the secret to how I look at the moment.
I've been training for various movies in different capacities for the last 35 years, even for the movies that require strenuous physical effort. For example, in Madhura Raja, like Peter (Hein) said, for some of the stunts, there were no ropes or dupes. We trained with animals for eight months. There was K9 training. We worked as a team, with our best foot forward. It was very challenging, and we were pushed to the edge. However, in the end, we do it for the fans.
We have been shooting for nearly 120 days. We finished my portions of the movie in 80 days. It was so hectic that we finished the shooting in two schedules with about 60 artists on-set.
Time does not play a factor in this movie. There is no time-frame. It's an entertainer, and my message to the people of UAE would be that this movie will entertain you. I had the excellent opportunity to reprise Raja's role with my co-stars Salim Kumar, who has returned to portray Manoharan Mangalodayam, and Nedumudi Venu, Vijayraghavan, Siddique, and Suraj Venjaramood.
Sunny Leone comes in at a huge turning point in Madhura Raja. She has a dance performance in the movie that helps the story take a considerable shift.
After this, we are planning on releasing Unda, directed by Khalid Rahman. There are eight young actors in the movie. I play the role of a sub-inspector and their leader. It is based out of Chhattisgarh, and my character is taking up election duty. that's all I can reveal about the movie.
Maamankam is a historical event. The movie is a martial arts film, and I've done a similar role in Vadakkan Veeragatha and Pazhasshi Raja. The movie is set in the 16th century and is based out of the series of events that took place between the Kingdoms of Kozhikode (present-day Calicut) and Valluvanadu (a town in southern Malabar). The historical character 'Samoothiri of Kozhikode' had a rift with the leader of Valluvanad and the warriors fought.
There are no time limitations in the movie. It's an entertainer for people of all ages. A seven-year-old, as well as a 70-year-old, will enjoy it.
Yes, it does. Moreover, going forward, it could be a trend in Malayalam cinema. For example, the Avengers (Marvel Universe) is on its 14th sequel. Why can't poor Raja reprise his role once?
I like doing varied roles, and I'm confident I can pull it off because of the audience support over the 35 years of my career.
It is a question that I've been asked for the last 35 years. I am always on the lookout for a role that would challenge me.
