Mammootty’s first film with Bharat Gopy was director Hari Kumar’s Oru Swakarayam in 1983. It paved the way for a warm rapport and friendship that lasted till the legend’s end. Mammootty was instrumental in the production of Patheyam that also brought Bharat Gopy actively back into the business of films.
Bharth Gopi- The only actor who amazed me with his acting ability. Its not just acting, but something unexplainable with words.
