Why Is Mammootty Hesitant To Work With Mohanlal?
According to the rumour mills, Mammootty is hesitant to share the screen with his good friend Mohanlal. A popular online media reports that Shaji Kailas's Mammootty-Mohanlal project was shelved due to the same reason.
Reports suggest that Mammootty is not so keen to do a big budget multi-starrer movie now. The actor is not willing to take risks in his career right now, owing to his recent success.
It is also rumoured that the actor is not willing take chances by teaming up with Mohanlal, owing to the failure of his last big budget multi-starrer movie, The King And The Commissioner.
Mammootty is reportedly planning to bring back his career into a stable state, with some low budget ventures and performance oriented roles. This another reason for the actor's hesitancy to go for a big project.
Reportedly, Mammootty is also not ready to associate with Shaji Kailas, due to the same reason. The duo's last few movie, including Drona 2010, August 15 and The King And The Commissioner, were flops.
In short, a Mammootty-Mohanlal starrer movie will not materialize in near future. Mammootty is planning to be active with some light projects; while Mohanlal is concentrating on high-voltage masala entertainers.
