Mammootty’s performance moved me to tears: Siddique

Director Siddique is one of the very few senior filmmakers who is still in the limelight doing successful movies. He has teamed up with Megastar Mammootty for superhit movies like Hitler, Chronic Bachelor and Bhaskar The Rascal.

Bhaskar The Rascal released in 2015 was a huge commercial success. The movie had Mammootty playing the titular role of Bhaskar, a rich businessman who is also a single parent. Nayantara played the female lead while Sanoop Santhosh and Baby Anikha played their kids respectively.

The movie had some emotional scenes to it’s credit and Mammootty as usual displayed his amazing acting skills. Recently director Siddique shared a very interesting incident while shooting for the movie.

In a particular scene in the movie, Sanoop Santhosh’s character asks his father Bhaskar (Mammootty) about his mother, who passed away soon after he was born. Siddique while briefing the scene to Mammootty, asked to him to give a slight pause, when the kid asks about his mom, and then deliver the dialogue.

Mammootty who is known for handling such emotional scenes with perfection delivered a notch better than what the director wanted. Siddique in the interview said, he was moved to tears with Mammootty’s performance.

This is one of the many instances where directors have been stunned by Mammootty’s impeccable acting skills. He is a 3 time National award not without any reason.
