I am missing the National Award: Mammootty
Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 21 Malayalam superstar Mammootty
confesses that he misses receiving the coveted National Award,
which he has already been honoured with three times earlier.
"Isn't it some time now since I have won it? And of late, I am
missing it," Mammootty told IANS from the sets of his upcoming
film "Big B".
The versatile actor hopes that two of his recent films - "Palunku"
and "Kaioppu" - help get some awards.
"Both 'Palunku' and 'Kaioppu', which are currently running in
theatres, carry a socially relevant theme. They are doing good
business though they might not be drawing huge crowds.
While "Palunku" is directed by Blessy, "Kaioppu" has been made
by Ranjith.
"From the feedback I'm getting of these two films, I am hoping
that the current year will be good. We will all hope for the
best," the 53-year-old actor said.
Mammootty won his first National Award in 1989 for his brilliant
performance in "Oru Vadakan Veeragatha" directed by Hariharan
and in Adoor Gopalakrishnan's "Mathilugal".
In 1993, he was conferred the prestigious award yet again for
his roles in Gopalakrishnan's "Vidhayan" and T.V. Chandran's "Ponthan
Mada".
He was third time lucky when he received the honour in 1999 for
playing the lead role in Jabbar Patel's film "Dr. Babasaheb
Ambedkar".
"The response to 'Kaioppu' has been great. The number of
calls I've been receiving since its release gives a wonderful
feeling and I am happy. So is the case with 'Palunku'," remarked
Mammootty.
