It was not the great actor of Malayali who stood in the library, but that old young man named Muhammadukutty, who crossed the backwaters and came to college from the land of Chemb. In the video, Mammootty describes the Maharaja’s library as ‘a place where Muhammad Kutty, a non-filmmaker, got to know the stories and characters and danced in his dreams’. He also shares the climax of perusing college magazines out of curiosity. A magazine with a black and white picture from history to a colorful time… On its yellowed page, under the text Drama Club Leader, is a picture of a dusty moustached man – name Mammootty. ‘My picture was probably printed for the first time in… my college magazine…’ Mammootty recalled with emotion.
He says that his companions enthusiastically asked him regarding his college days, adding another. ‘Times change…the excitement of college, it never will…ever!’
