No other actor has achieved this feat as this is not an easy task to accomplish. The best thing is the fact that, Mammootty excelled in the usage of all the above slangs.

The actor makes each of his character look different. There are situations when we can't see the actor or person named Mammootty, as what we see on-screen would be the character alone.

Such is the transformation made by Mammootty for his characters. The utmost care that he gives while delivering the dialogues in a particular slang is highly commendable.

Another factor is the consistency that he holds while speaking in a slang. Take the case of the film Rajamanikyam, the actor was in complete hold of the Trivandrum dialect, even while performing sentimental scenes.

Well, a close look into the list would let you know that he has handled most of the regional dialects of Kerala. Probably, the only one missing is the Kazargod slang which has been seldom used in films so far.
