"Working with Mammootty sir was like a dream come true. He is one of the most respected actors of our country - an actor who has worked in more than 400 films in his approximately 50 years long career. Besides, he is a wonderful human being and is immensely humble.

"There were a lot of things that I learned from him, such as discipline, punctuality, motivating co-actors on the sets, being high-on-energy all the time and simplicity in talking. He is extremely down to earth and he shows the same amount of respect and love to all the actors," Prachi said.
