Mammootty says people won’t remember him after he is gone; fans get emotional

Khalid Al Ameri, a United Arab Emirates-based YouTuber, has managed to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Mammootty. Khalid asked the Malayalam superstar whether he would ever call it quits with a feeling of having done enough. ‘Mammukka’ instantly replied, “No.” “I don’t feel exhausted. It (quitting) will be my last breath,” the actor added.

When asked how he wanted the world to remember him, Mammootty said, “But how long will they remember me? One year? Ten years? Fifteen years? Finished. Don’t expect people to remember you till the end of the world. That won’t happen to anybody. Great people are remembered very very very less. Only very few people are remembered. I am one among thousands of actors. How can they remember me for more than a year? There’s no hope for that. Once you are not in the world, how will you know about you? Everybody thinks that they are going to be remembered till the end of the world. No.”
