of
the
industry,
has
always
been

about
his
deep
admiration
for
the
mega
star,

he
love
to
imitate

his
young
age.
Nivin
recalled
the
releasing
day
of
Sethurama
Iyer
CBI,
on
which
he
dressed
up
like
Mammootty.
According
to
the
actor,
he
was
doing
his
final
year
engineering
while
the
movie

and
his

dressed
up
like
the

a
vermillion
mark
on
the
forehead.
He
also
made
his

do
the
same.

added
that
he
had
the
highly
popular
Sethurama
Iyer
background
music
as
his
ringtone
for
a
long
time,
like
any
other
die-hard
Mammootty
fan.
The
actor
also
remarked
that
he
is
equally
fond
of
the
other
stars,
including

He
has
imitated
Mohanlal
in
one
of
the
comedy
scenes
in
the
