Actor Mammootty was criticized for not getting the Padmabhushan this time too. On Republic Day, there was only one lotus amongst the Padma awards that angered all the Malayalis. It may have been at the level of whether actor Mammootty needed the Padmabhushan.
But if this is a question to ordinary Malayalees, they will immediately say that he should have got it, he didn’t get it either in the past or now, the truth is that even his enemies will not have any objection to him getting Padmabhushan.
It is very sad that he has not received the award he deserves for his acting, but the fact is that the actor is never recognized as he did not get the Padmabhushan, Mammootty is a unique talent who has grown beyond this award, and this is an experience for many greats, not only actor Mammootty, but like this. Having to stand by and watch is a flaw in Malayalam cinema
