With
time,
there
has
been
a
change
in
the
way
of
film-making
and
the
tastes
of
the
audiences,
but
what
remains
unchanged
is
the
love
of
the
Malayali
audiences
for
their
superstars,
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal.
Even
now,
if
a
movie,
featuring
both
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
roles,
make
its
way
to
the
theatres,
then
such
a
film
will
be
the
first
choice
for
the
Malayalam
film
audiences.
Well,
certain
rumours
are
doing
the
rounds
now
regarding
one
such
project
of
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal.
Since
the
past
few
days,
rumours
are
spreading
in
the
social
media,
regarding
the
revival
of
a
project
named
Hallo
Mayavi,
which
was
supposed
to
feature
both
Mammootty
&
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
roles.
Hallo
Mayavi
Interestingly,
the
reports
regarding
Hallo
Mayavi,
which
was
expected
to
bring
together
the
characters
from
the
movies
Hallo
and
Mayavi,
surfaced
upon
the
success
of
both
the
movies.
It
was
one
of
the
most
awaited
projects
of
that
time,
but
no
official
confirmation
was
made
regarding
the
same.
Mayavi
(2007)
Mayavi,
directed
by
Shafi
marked
his
second
association
with
Mammootty,
the
earlier
one
being
Thommanum
Makkalum.
In
Mayavi,
Mammootty
played
the
role
of
a
character
named
Mahi,
a
convict,
who
comes
to
the
place
of
his
jail
inmate
for
a
purpose.
Mammootty's
First
Film
With
Rafi-Mecartin
Mayavi,
had
its
script
written
by
popular
director-duo
Rafi-Mecartin.
Mayavi,
marked
the
first
association
of
Mammootty
and
Rafi-Mecartin
team.
The
concept
of
Iruttu
Adi
Service
(IAS),
embedded
in
Mayavi,
struck
the
right
chords
with
the
entertainment
needs
of
the
audiences.
Hallo
(2007)
Hallo,
the
film
directed
by
Rafi-Mecartin,
came
in
at
the
right
time
for
Mohanlal.
The
film
narrated
the
story
of
an
advocate
named
Sivaraman,
an
alcoholic.
His
life
changes
when
he
gets
a
phone
call
from
a
girl.
Mohanlal
At
His
Humorous
Best
The
portrayal
of
Sivaraman,
won
lot
of
praises
for
Mohanlal.
The
actor
looked
extremely
stylish
in
his
new
look
for
the
movie
and
the
actor
was
at
his
humorous
best
in
the
movie.
The
audiences
got
to
witness
the
Mohanlal
of
the
1980s
and
1990s
in
the
movie.
Hallo
Vs
Mayavi
Box
Office
Both
Hallo
and
Mayavi
released
in
2007,
both
met
with
huge
success
at
the
box
office.
Mayavi
was
released
in
the
month
of
January
whereas
Hallo
hit
the
theatres
in
July.
Both
the
films
completed
100
days
of
run
in
good
number
of
theatres.
Mayavi
was
the
top
grosser
of
that
year
followed
by
Hallo.
The
rumours
currently
doing
the
rounds
also
suggest
that
the
film
will
mark
the
reunion
of
Rafi-Mecartin
duo.
No
official
confirmation
has
been
made
by
the
actors
or
the
makers
regarding
Hallo
Mayavi.
It
has
to
be
noted
that,
such
a
cross-over
movie
definitely
holds
good
prospects
even
now,
as
far
as
the
entertainment
value
is
considered.
Well,
if
such
a
project
happens,
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
Mammootty
&
Mohanlal
sharing
the
screen
space,
together
yet
again,
after
a
brief
break.
