He has been attracted by Mammootty’s personality and manners and he said he knows that to portray the character in Dalapathay named ‘Deva’, it had to be an artist with the caliber of Mammootty should be there.
He said that he can never forget one scene in that in which Deva (character played by Mammooty) coming towards his right hand Surya (character played by Rajinikanth) and then remove the shawl which covered his body and tells Surya that “itha paaru..nalla paru”(see this..see this very clearly). That scene was made awesome by the superb acting of Mammootty and Rajini says that he was really astonished to see the power of Mammootty’s acting.
