Actor turned BJP leader Devan praised Mammootty on social media. His praise is regarding the megastar's presence at Suresh Gopi's daughter Bhagya Suresh's wedding ceremony.
In a note on Facebook, Devan said that when Mammootty was invited to receive 'dakshina' from Suresh Gopi's daughter Bhagya, he remove his shoes to accept it, brought his wife with him to the marriage out of respect for Indian culture, and accepted the 'akshat' from Modi's hand and put it in his pocket.
Translation of Devan's FB post
Mammootty the human.
Malayalees understood Mammootty and his wife who came to Guruvayur temple for Suresh Gopi's daughter's wedding.
At this wedding, Mammootty became the human who charmed not only me but all humans out there.
He accepted the akshat of the Shri Ram Temple extended by the Prime Minister with both hands, when the bride tried to give him 'dakshina' he removed his footwear to accept it, standing proudly and humbly in front of the Prime Minister of India as an Indian citizen, made the great actor Mammootty a great man.
I admire this Mammootty who brought along his wife by respecting Indian culture.
Devan Sreenivasan.
