If
you
think
each
and
every
person
in
Kerala
today
is
busy
celebrating
Onam,
the
ultimate
festival
for
all
Malayalees
all
over
the
world,
you
are
mistaken!
Of
course,
there
will
be
many
who
cannot
participate
in
the
colourful
celebrations
due
to
many
reasons,
mainly
physical.
But
what
do
you
say
if
superstar
Mammootty
does
not
join
the
celebrations
due
to
an
avoidable,
petty
reason:
too
busy
schedule
shooting!
We
can
only
say,
"Alas!"
Mammootty,
who
is
now
busy
shooting
for
his
upcoming
venture
Maya
Bazaar,
says
that
he
has
so
much
work
that
he
can't
think
of
taking
a
break
during
this
festive
season.
"Yes,
I
am
on
the
Ramzan
fast,
but
I
just
cannot
afford
to
sit
idle
on
this
pretext.
Even
on
Friday,
which
is
Thiru
Onam
day,
the
most
important
day
for
all
Keralites,
I
am
busy
shooting," Mammootty
said.
Mammootty,
who
turned
55
last
Sunday,
was
able
to
spend
time
with
his
family,
only
because
the
shooting
of
the
film
was
taking
place
in
his
hometown.
Don't
you
think
that
is
a
little
too
much?
Apart
from
Maya
Bazaar
(directed
by
Thomas
Sebastian)
scheduled
to
release
for
Ramzan
on
October
1
or
2,
Mammootty
is
also
busy
shooting
for
internationally-acclaimed
director
Shaji
N.
Karun's
Kuttyshranku
and
his
much-anticipated
magnum
opus
Pazhassi
Raja,
a
historical
film
about
Kerala
Varma
Pazhassi
Raja,
being
directed
by
Hariharan.
Mammootty's
other
projects
include
Rafi-Mecartin
duo's
Love
in
Singapore
and
debutant
director
Aashiq
Abu's
Daddy
Cool.
