Actor Sreenivasan is quite famous for his witty dialogues tangled with humour. A remark that he was made years ago about Mammootty and Mohanlal on the same line is now becoming more noticeable. He said it in a comedy programme that he performed for a private channel.
Sreenivasan words: On those days, Mammootty was wearing the stardom in Malayalam cinema. Mohanlal was continued to play in villain roles in some more films. One day during that period, Mammootty told me at Woodland hotel we would have to be careful about this guy, when I asked him who it was and whether he was he referring to Mohanlal.
Then Mammootty told me: That Mohanlal only. He would soon become a hero. Not only that, he may possibly become a threat to me. We should remember that Mohanlal was a full-time villain at that time and it was then Mammootty made the above comments.
Now, what does this mean? Mammootty is not a simpleton.
