Director CB Malail says that a film with Mammootty is a dream. He was speaking in an interview given to Mathrubhumi.com. Koth directed by CB Malail is releasing today. After a gap of six years, a CB Malail movie will hit the theaters. The film stars Asif Ali, Roshan Mathew and Nikhila Vimal.
I have a subject that can be done with Mammootty. It will definitely happen when you get to the point of telling him. It is a dream to do a film with Mammootty. He is an open minded person. He is easy to approach. The only problem was that I wasn’t approachable. It’s just that the topic that I can do with him did not come up – said CB Malail.
Cibi Malail said that friendships in cinema are not as strong as they were in the new era. He added that everyone seemed to have shrunk to pieces.
The relationships in the film now seem to be fragmented. In olden days, everyone would sit together and discuss collectively. Today the caravan has become a culture. Everyone is at different stages. Everyone is focused on him. But that was not the case in the past. A long time ago, a story reached the producer and then reached the director and then reached the actors. Today it is the actor who decides what kind of film he wants. A very strange situation arises when there are technicians subordinate to it. An actor naturally has fans. But making movies just to satisfy them is never permanent. The failure of many superstars’ films in the recent past is an example of that – said CB Malail.
