For me, Mammooka was with the Gods

'I came without anyone's recommendation', Mammooka gave a mass reply to the fan. A post written by director Sreevallabhan B sharing his experience is going viral. This is the note written on the occasion of the release of his third film 'Dharani'.

In the director's words

When I was a fan, I once asked Mammooka, 'I want to work as an assistant director, would you recommend me to a director?' The answer came immediately. I came without anyone's recommendation. So always understand the price of the movie. Try it yourself and then come to a level."

When someone like Mammooka, who was enshrined in my heart with the gods, said that, I was completely devastated. It hurt me a lot. But later those words inspired me.

Struggled for years to find a chance to study directing. Later worked as an assistant director with Film director Sharvi sir and become an Associate Director.

When the opportunity came to become an independent director, Mammooka's face was the first to appear. My first step was to direct a documentary based on Mammooka's life called "Snehapoorvam Mammootty".

A thousand thanks to Mammooka, who has been with me for all four films I have directed since then.

The music and background score of the film is composed by Pandit Ramesh Narayan. Pandit Jasraj's disciple and prominent North Indian singer Padma Shri Tripti Mukherjee in Malayalam cinema for the first time as a playback singer. She has sung a Tharattu song in the film which has a lot of emotional moments. The song is penned by Lalichan Devasia and the music is composed by Ramesh Narayanan. The heartthrob song has gone viral now.

Dharani movie will be released in theaters on February 24^th of 2023.
