Jyotika referred to him as a "true hero" in a recent interview. She said, "I have worked with almost all the superstars in South. I think he's [Mammootty] a real hero. And the first day I went to him, I said, 'Sir, how did you choose to play this role?'.

He said, 'What is a hero? A hero is not someone who's hitting somebody, doing action and romance. A hero is someone who's trying different roles and one who's getting into the act of different characters. That's a real hero.'"
She continued saying, "I really wanted to applaud because there was a lot to lose if it didn't go right. But, he just went all out."
Siddharth seconds with Jyotika and said, "Specifically, Mammuka's last two years and the choices he's making are just mind-bending. He's just leaving vanity and ego at the door. It's unbelievable what he's doing. With 'Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam' and 'Kaathal' to this year - it's amazing to play and the curiosity he has in discovering a new character is unmatched."
On the work front, with four movies in 2023, Mammootty has had a spectacular 2023. This year began with the release of Lijo Jose Pellissery's 'Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam,' which received two state honours. 'Christopher,' his following release, garnered good to mixed reviews.
