This Malayalam actor played Dr BR Ambedkar after rejecting film due to moustache, won his 3rd National Award

Over the year several political dramas have been released in India, the latest being Kangana Ranaut's Emergency. While several actors have brought alive political leaders and their zeal on screen, not everyone can do what Mammootty did back in 2000. The actor with a wide range of polymath, has contributed with several acclaimed performances, but his film 'Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar,' will always stand out and for the right reasons. The film directed by Jabbar Patel not only did justice to the larger-than-life character of our 'Father of Constitution' but also won Mammootty his third National Award. But do you know initially, the Malayalam actor had refused to do the film due to his moustache?
