For those who are unaware, the 2001 film Aanandham, starring Mammootty, Murali, Abbas, Devayani, Rambha, Sneha, and many more in the lead roles, was the director's debut film. During the shoot of the family drama flick, there were several rumors of disagreements between the actor and director.
Linguswamy further went on to reveal how, as a young filmmaker, he was always nitpicking and particular about what took place in his films. He conveyed that even though Mammootty was an actor with much experience, it would have been better to listen to him rather than argue. He also added that the actor’s initial anger towards him was justifiable.
The director also revealed that he had a chat with Mammootty after watching the trailer of the film Bramayugam. The director asked him who else could do films like Kaathal, and the actor asked if anyone was willing to do it in Tamil. To this, the director added, “You know that ego is what drives him. He is only Mammootty if he has this.”
