Mammootty has glamorous personalities playing mother

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 24 (IANS) Malayalam superstar Mammootty is now getting glamour personalities, including acclaimed pop singer Usha Uthup and former model Nafisa Ali, to play his mother.

"In my last film 'Pothen Vava' Usha Uthup played my mother. Now in 'Big B' Nafisa Ali is playing the role," Mammootty told IANS from the sets of "Big B" in Kochi.

Former Miss India Nafisa Ali, 49, is acting in Malayalam films for the first time. She has acted in eight Hindi and other films, beginning with the acclaimed "Junoon". Nafisa, according to Mammootty, is a bit scared because of the language.

"We are giving her enough support and now believe me she is doing a fine job," said Mammootty, 53.

Ace cinematographer Amal Neerad, who was behind the camera for Mammootty's earlier film "Black", is directing the film. This is Neerad's first foray into direction.

"The film is all about action and suspense and is a thriller. Nafisa is Mary John, an activist who takes care of children, and I am one of her four adopted children. The film will do well," said a confident Mammootty.
