In an interview, Unni Mukundan has said that when he gets an opportunity to work with Mammootty, he never discusses his role because all he wants is to share screen space with the mega star. A small role would do, pointed out the actor. Mammootty is full of positivity and is always encouraging, said Unni Mukundan in the interview, adding that it is a pleasure to watch him perform before the camera.
