Mammookka's Biography was a short film directed by Jude and produced by his friends Abraham Mammen, and Nivin Pauly and Aju Varghese which was inspired from the actor's autobiography 'Chamayangalillathe'. The book is truly an inspirational story of an ordinary young boy who dared to dream big, without having any experience with cinema.
The 12 – minute short film received huge applause from the viewers which has made Jude to take a step forward making it to the wider screen. Jude had made a complete research before filming it by visiting Chempu near Vaikom, the native place of the great actor. Disguised as a journalist, he spend around four months taking to the teachers, friends and acquaintances of the great teacher to get a clearer picture about him.
So big things happening in malayalam film industry, 'Nakshathrangalude Rajakumaran' has already become the talk of the town. So can Jude recreate the same magic with this mega project? Truly waiting for it to happen.
