Actress Anna Rajan, popularly known as Lichi, the character she played in her debut movie Angamaly Diaries, is finally happy that megastar Mammootty called her after she was trolled and received hate comments by his fans. 

The young actress found herself in the eye of the storm for giving a smart reply to a tricky question during a recent TV show interview. When asked if she'd like to act with Dulquer Salmaan or Mammootty, the Angamaly Diaries actress responded saying that she'd like to be Dulquer's heroine and Mammootty could act as his father.
