SIBY HERALD

Mollywood industry sources have stated that in a recent interview given to RJ Maathukutty Mammootty had opened up about the wish he had to direct none other than Kollywood's superstar Rajinikanth. It is a fact that many Malayalam actors have that inherent wish in them to direct a film, one day or the other. 



Mammootty stated that he wished to direct the film Bhoothakkannadi with actor Rajinikanth in the lead role. In fact, Mammootty even narrated the story to Rajinikanth but disappointingly the project didn't take off. Mammootty and Rajinikanth had previously teamed up for the movie Thalapathi, directed by Maniratnam.


It was stated that Mammooty himself who had acted in Bhoothakkannadi, that was released in the year 1997. The movie also paved way for the directorial debut of Lohithadas, who had also penned the script for the movie.



Mammootty played the role of a character named Vidyadharan, a common man, who lands up in prison. The actor had received positive accolades for his outstanding performance in the movie.
