Mammooka says she won’t direct now because of Prithviraj: Kalabhavan Shajon
Kalabhavan Shajon opens up about Mammootty’s advice when he said he was going to direct the film. Shajon said that Mammootty advised that now is the time to make money and the direction can be done later. Shajon said in an interview with Club FM that he became a director because of Prithviraj.
‘I am acting with Mammooka for the first time in Rajamanikya. It was directed by Anwar Rasheed, who is a close friend of ours. I go by calling the spot. It was a small role. My phone Mamooka kicks and breaks it saying it’s one of your mobile phones.
When Mamooka came to the scene, I went to stand with everyone. When you saw me, that’s what’s wrong with you all, you don’t wear a wig when you come on TV. Mamooka asked, if you become handsome with a wig right after you have a movie, why are you being recognized? That’s when we understand that Mamooka listens to us all. Then there was a terrible energy. I will never forget that.
After that, he acted in many films with Mammooka. Mamooka still speaks our name in many films. I’m very glad to hear that. There is no difference between the time and the hour Mamooka. The closeness is still there.
He can visit at any time. Sometimes advised. When I told him that he was directing a new film, Mammooka said that now is the time to make money, and that we can do it whenever we want,’ says Shajon.
I will never forget what Prithviraj told me to direct when I went to narrate the story. I wanted to be a director, but I didn’t think it would happen so soon. It happened with Prithviraj. That moment when Prithviraj said, if Chetan directs, I will give him a date was mind blowing. I never thought about directing. Prithviraj said that I only shot as the story was told to me. That same debt will always be with Raju,” added Shajon.
