A
Hard
Question
In
2016,
journalist
MCA
Nazer
told
Mammoootty
that
many
people
feel
he
is
not
as
approachable
as
Mohanlal
and
asked
Mollywood's
'Megastar'
whether
he
was
trying
to
change
the
perception.
"Would
it
not
be
nice
if
you
tried
to
change
the
public's
perception
that
you
are
innately
arrogant
and
proud
in
your
behaviour?
It
is
not
as
easy
to
get
close
to
Mammootty
as
one
can
with
Mohanlal.
There
is
a
general
feeling
that
Mammukka
is
not
people-friendly...can
you
not
change
that?" added
Nazer
Mammootty's
Brutal
Reply
While
answering
the
uncomfortable
question,
Mammootty
said
that
those
who
consider
him
to
be
arrogant
should
change
their
perspective
and
implied
that
he
is
least
bothered
about
such
criticism.
His
Exact
Words
"Who
should
be
the
one
to
change
this
common
notion...
me
or
those
who
nurture
it?
The
masses
should
change
this
general
feeling
about
me....at
least
for
his
(Nazer)
sake!"
A
Clarification
Following
the
controversy,
Nazer
said
that
he
was
just
doing
his
job
and
did
not
mean
to
insult
Mammootty.
He
added
that
he
prefers
the
Big
B
hero
over
Mohanlal
and
tried
to
bring
things
under
control.
On
The
Work
Front...
With
the
controversy
in
the
past,
Mammootty
is
busy
ruling
Malayalam
cinema.
He
was
last
seen
in
the
critically
acclaimed
Unda,
which
did
well
at
the
box
office.
He
currently
has
Ganagandharvan
and
Shylock
in
his
kitty.
Ganagandharvan,
touted
to
be
a
comedy,
marks
his
first
collaboration
with
Ramesh
Pisharody.
On
the
other
hand,
Shylock
marks
Mammootty's
third
collaboration
with
Ajai
Vasudev.
Mammukka
will
also
be
seen
in
the
period-drama
Mamangam.
