Any son's first hero is his father. Dulquer Salmaan and Mammootty are no exceptions. Regardless of age, Dulquer is Vappachi Mammootty's hands-on son. While wishing his father a happy birthday with two black and white pictures, Muhammad Kutty and Sulfath’s younger son's words overflowed with love.

The actor took to Instagram and wrote, “When I was a boy you were the man I wanted to become. When I first stood in front of the camera you were the actor I wanted to become. When I became a father, you were everything I wanted to be. I hope one day I become even half of who you are Pa !”

The audience has been waiting for a Mammootty and Dulquer Salmaan film for a long time.

Dulquer Salmaan is an ardent fan of his father and it reflects in his frequent posts for his father. Sharing a story, Salmaan said, "As long as I can remember I’ve always been aware of your time. I’ve always measured it and made sure I get the most out of it. Most often I’ll call only when I feel it’s something important and worth your time. I never say Pa let’s take a photo or a selfie cause I’m aware that everywhere you go this is a constant request. It’s silly on my part but I’ve always been an over thinker. It’s the one thing Umma scolds me about always."

Dulquer Salmaan cannot escape questions about his superstar father everywhere he goes. From being known as Mammootty's son to carving an identity for himself, the actor has come a long way. "I tried to stay away as far as possible because I realised that anything that I do in movies will be compared to my dad and I would definitely ruin his reputation. He is not just an actor, it’s even the way he conducts himself and I didn’t want to be that kid who messes it up."
