Curiosità

Ente Mamattukkuttiyammakku is a 1983 Indian Malayalam-language family drama film produced by Navodaya. It was written and directed by Fazil and stars Bharat Gopy, Mohanlal, Shalini, Poornima Jayaram, and Sangeeta Naik. The film was reported to be heavily inspired by the 1982 film Annie.

Production

The film's original title was Ente Mamattukkuttiyammakku, but due to a printing mistake, it came out as Ente Mamattikkuttiyammakku in posters and publicity materials. Fazil heard the name Mamoottamma from a household in Northern Kerala. He modified that name to create the character Mamattukkuttiyamma.

Fazil selected Shalini for the title role immediately after he saw her photograph shown by someone in the production crew. She was three years old when she acted in the film. Although Shalini had already made her debut in Aadyathe Anuraagam, it was Ente Mamattukkuttiyammakku that gave her recognition. "Baby Shalini" became a successful child artist and appeared in similar roles in her subsequent films.

The film was shot in Kochi and Alappuzha. The outdoor scenes showing Bharat Gopi's office and work site were shot in Hotel Vivanta near the Menaka bus stop. The building was under construction then. The scenes showing Gopi's home were shot in Alappuzha's west side near the beach. Some of the scenes were taken in Kakkanad, including Kusumagiri Mental Hospital. The film was made in just 30 days.
