The chef goes on to explain the difference between Bollywood and the Malayalam film industry - ''this is not Bollywood''. The video, which has now surfaced online, is now being rewatched by shattered fans, spread all over the world.
Mammootty can be seen inviting the chef to his caravan during the shoot break, where the two discuss food, over lunch! Bourdain shares Mammootty's lunch - fish curry and fish eggs. "Some of the best food I had tasted, and for a guy who is like Elvis in his field, Mammootty showed remarkable patience," Bourdain says, but not without his own set of doubts. "I don't understand this industry, why are they fighting, why are they running around trees, why don't they kiss? But it's fantastic," he says.
