Manikandan who made a volcanic performance in Dulquer starrer Kammattipadam is now teaming with Mammootty in the upcoming movie The Great Father. It was Manikandan, the actor who played Balan that sets the mood of Kammattipadam. He was shocked to see the ugly, stained dentures, the distinctive feature of Balan at first. But when he was totally into the character the teeth became an indispensable part, he said. Once in an interview he said, he was addicted to art as his father sings and plays udukku and his siblings are also artists. The Great Father is produced by actor Prithviraj under August Cinemas. This is for the second time the production is making Mammootty starrer after “Kadal Kadannu oru Maathukutty”.
