Mammootty has rejected several movies which later went to Mohanlal such as Iruvar, Drishyam, and more. Take a look:
The superhit film, Rajavinte Makan was rejected by Mammootty and was later done by Mohanlal. The film was directed by Thami Kannanthanam.
The team narrated the story of Nirnayam to Mammootty first and the actor was interested in the project. But, the project got delayed due to Mammootty's busy schedule and the role went to Mohanlal.
Mammootty turned down the role of Georgekutty in the Malayalam movie Drishyam. He was busy with other projects at the time.
Mammootty rejected the role of Tamizhselvan in the 1997 film Iruvar. The role was based on the life of M. Karunanidhi, a former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Mammootty's debut film was Anubhavangal Paalichakal in 1971. He had an uncredited role in this Malayalam film. His first credited role came in 1973, with Kaalachakram.
He was recently seen in Dominic and the Ladies' Purse. Mammootty plays Dominic, a private detective who is tasked with finding the owner of a lost purse.
He was recently seen in Barroz. Mohanlal played the role of a loyal servant named Barroz, who is cursed to guard the treasure of Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama.
