Mammotty and Mohan Lal from past 4 decades have been working as leading stars in Malayalam film Industry. From 80's, both of them have become huge stars at the same time and by 90's started winning National Awards and working in other languages.
But late 90's saw erotic movies being made regularly in Malayalam and both of them had to face disasters too. Slowly, they came back with huge blockbusters.
Mammotty did Raja Manikyam character and Mohan Lal delivered Narasimha. Mohan Lal kept growing consistently and his market reach improved too.
Mammotty mixed his choices with popular films, art subjects. Hence, he stayed far back from Mohan Lal. New generation stars like Dulquer Salmaan, Fahaad Fassil, Nivin Pauly, Prithiviraj Sukumaran started taking over Malayalam box office consistently but Mohan Lal with Drishyam, Puli Murugan, Lucifer proved that he is still the undisputed King.
Mammotty after a decade came up with a film that can challenge Mohan Lal's box office pull. His latest release Bheeshma Parvam took a grand opening and it recorded the highest opening for any Malayalam film.
It grossed more than Lucifer, Baahubali 2 Kayamkulam Kocchunni, Odiyan in its opening weekend. Amal Neerad directed the gangster drama and fans are growing crazy over Mammotty's massy portrayal.
