Mammootty meets former Sri Lankan cricketer Sanath Jayasurya

Mammootty is currently in Sri Lanka for the shoot of his segment in the upcoming Netflix anthology based on MT Vasudevan Nair’s stories. The actor met former Sri Lankan cricketer Sanath Jayasurya and had met a brief interaction with him. Jayasurya, who is now the country’s tourism brand ambassador, took to his Twitter handle to share photos from their meet. He also thanked Mammootty for visiting Sri Lanka and called him a ‘true superstar’.

Jayasurya’s tweet reads,

It was an honour to meet Senior Malayalam actor @mammukka . Sir you are a true super star. Thank you for coming to Sri Lanka. I would like to invite all Indian stars & friends to #VisitSriLanka to enjoy our country

The upcoming short is an adaptation of ‘Kadugannawa Oru Yathra’, written by MT. It recounts events during his visit to an international conference in Sri Lanka. Mammootty will play MT’s character in it. Though Lijo Jose Pellissery was supposed to direct the film, he has now been replaced by Ranjith.

The anthology also has films helmed by Priyadarshan, Santosh Sivan, Shyamaprasad, Rathish Ambat, Mahesh Narayanan and Jayaraj.
