Martin Prakkat is one of the few directors in Mollywood who made all the directorial ventures of his as box office successes. Martin Prakkat had come from the field of advertisement and his first film was with Mega star Mammootty. It was the film named best actor which released in the year 2010. It was a box office success as well. But Martin Prakkat is a great Mohanlal fan in his personal life and said that he had no courage to do film with a legend like Mohanlal whom he admire the most. Martin Prakkat says that Mohanlal is a great actor and for doing a film with, it needs great courage. To direct the one you admire the most always challenging.
Martin Prakkat said even though he had not enough courage now to direct Mohanlal, he will surely do a film with him in the future when the appropriate time comes and when he gets a script and character that challenges Mohanlal as an actor. Martin Prakkat’s second film was with Dulque Salmaan in the lead and it was titled as ABCD- American Born Confused Desi. It was one of the top hits of Dulquer Salmaan’s career.
Now his 3rd film had released on last Christmas and that too had Dulquer Salmaan in the lead and the film is Charlie. That film too become a success in box office and Martin Prakkatt had got great critical appreciation for his craft he shown in the film. Everybody is of the opinion that Charlie is the best film directed by Martin Prakkat till now in his career.
We hope that Martin Prakkat will get a chance very soon to direct a film with favorite actor Mohanlal. There are many reviews about Charlie which said that the character of Charlie is made in such a way that it reminds us of many vintage Mohanlal characters. May be his admiration for Mohanlal had influenced Martin Prakkat while writing the screenplay of this film along with Unni R.
Martin Prakkat also acted in a Mohanlal film named Chotta Mumbai directed by Anwar Rasheed as well in 2007.
