Big B was the result of Mammootty’s belief in us : Amal Neerad

Mammootty is known for giving chances to many debut filmmakers. Over the years he has spotted many talented directors. Some of them like Lal Jose (Maravathoor Kanavu), Blessy (Kaazhcha), Vysakh (Pokkiri Raja), Aashiq Abu (Daddy Cool), Anwar Rasheed (Rajamanikyam) and Martin Prakkat (Best Actor) are now the leading filmmakers in Mollywood. One such director who stepped into filmmaking through a Mammootty starrer is Amal Neerad.

Back in 2007, Mammootty teamed up with Amal Neerad and his team of young technicians for a stylish gangster movie, Big B. Amal Neerad was a rookie cinematographer back then who had worked with Mammootty in Black. Interestingly, Black directed by Ranjith was Amal Neerad’s debut movie as an independent cinematographer as well.

In a recent interview to Times of India, Amal Neerad shared his experience working with the actor.

He said, “My first experience with any kind of an actor was with Mammukka. It was only because of Mammukka’s belief in us that we made Big B.”

Big B was released with minimum expectations and hit the screens along with Mohanlal’s much hyped Chotta Mumbai. Consequently, the Mammootty starrer went largely unnoticed. But once the DVDs was released, the movie saw an unprecedented reception from the viewers. Big B is widely regarded as one of the most stylish movies ever in made in Malayalam. Over the years, Big B has attained a cult status among the Malayali audience. The movie paved way for some brilliant talents like DOP Sameer Thahir, writer Unni R and Gopi Sunder.

Sameer Thahir is currently one of the most promising filmmakers in Mollywood having made movies like Chappa Kurishu, Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi (NPCB) and Kali. Gopi Sunder is now a National award winning composer busy with multiple projects in different languages.

For Amal Neerad, life has taken a full circle as exactly 10 years after Big B, he is awaiting the release of his next movie CIA aka Comrade In America starring Mammootty’s son Dulquer Salmaan in the lead.

Vappachi didn’t raise me as a rich kid: Dulquer Salmaan

Dulquer Salmaan has kick started 2017 successfully with his latest outing Jomonte Suvisheshangal. In fact, it was Jomonte Suvisheshangal that officially started the release of mainstream Malayalam movies after the cinema strike. The movie is doing good business in all the centres. Directed by veteran Sathyan Anthikad, the movie revolves around a rich businessman and his spendthrift son.

Recently in a chat session with Club FM UAE, Dulquer opened up more about how his parents raised him. “Though I was born in a well to do family, vappachi didn’t raise me as a rich kid. Even my mom was like that. They were very concerned about spending money and gave me money only for genuine needs. There was no question of lavishness. During my studies, I was given enough money for my semester fees and other needs. During my days in the US, I used to long for super bikes. I owned one only after I started living on my own.“.

He also revealed about his experience working in food courts during his college days to meet his expenses. “When I was in college, a dollar’s value was around 46-47 rupees. I was very apprehensive about troubling my family for my college expenses. So I worked in a food court to meet my expenses. During those days, I lived with a minimum budget and had many memorable experiences. But today, I can sustain with any budget and change myself according to the situation.”

Now we know where all that humility came from. Even after becoming a celebrity, he mostly stayed away from the media and made his presence felt only through his movies.

Mammootty or Dulquer Salmaan; Amal Neerad’s comparison

Stylish filmmaker Amal Neerad is currently busy with the post productions of his upcoming movie CIA aka Comrade In America with Dulquer Salmaan in the lead.

Amal Neerad is one of the very few filmmakers who have had the chance to work with the most popular celebrity father-son duo in Mollywood, Mammootty and Dulquer Salmaan. Amal Neerad made his debut as a filmmaker in 2007 through Mammootty’s Big B.

During a recent interview with Times Of India, when Amal Neerad was asked to draw a comparison between Dulquer and Mammootty, he said, “Mammukka, or any senior actor for that matter, brings with him years of experience and he takes a film beyond our expectations, every time. Dulquer, on the other hand, is more like a friend. However, he has done more films than me and is thus more experienced than me. I consider myself a juvenile, amateur director still. It’s not humility but the truth.”

CIA is Amal Neerad’s second movie with Dulquer. He has earlier worked with him in Kallante Bharya in 5 Sundarikal, an anthology of five movies.

CIA has Dulquer Salmaan playing the character of Aji Mathew, a Pala based youngster who travels to the US to meet his girlfriend. Debutante Karthika Muraleedharan is playing the female lead in this movie which also features Soubin Shahir, Jinu Jospeh, John Vijay and some foreign actors in supporting roles.

The movie is written by Shibin Francis who had scripted last year’s superhit movie Pavada that had Prithviraj in the lead. Cinematography is handled by debutant Ranadive, a former associate of Amal Neerad while Gopi Sunder has scored the music.

Amal Neerad and Anwar Rasheed have produced the movie under their banners Amal Neerad Productions and Anwar Rasheed Entertainment.
