Thilakan is Number One actor. Nedumudi got many chances because of Mohanlal. Producers and Directors will choosing Thilakan and if Mohanlal is the actor, he changing Ndumudi instead of Thilakan. Otherwise Mohanlal didnt give call sheet. Mohanlal wants Nedumudi, MG Sreekumar etc in his film. Do you know Venugopal is more and more better than MG Sreekumar. But Mohanlal said Venugopal sound is not matching with his sound. So Venugopal was not in film field many years and all the chances are goes to MG.
