Mithun has Mammootty's blessings

Actor Mithun Murali is familiar to the Malayali audience as Appu in Pramod Pappan's 2004 movie, Vajram. In the movie, the child actor shared the screen space with none other than superstar Mammootty. Now, the little boy has grown up and recently made his Kollywood debut in Vazhakku Enn 18/9. Says Mithun, 'My Kollywood entry was quite unexpected. When Balaji Shakthivel offered me the role, the first thing I did was to call up Mammootty for his blessings,' says Mithun, and adds that Mammootty was very happy to hear about his new innings. 'He told me that he had the confidence in me and that I would do well. It was a big morale boost,' says the young star.
