(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Producer Sandra Thomas recently revealed that Malayalam superstar Mammootty personally called her, allegedly asking her to withdraw the legal case she filed after her KFPA (Kerala Film Producers Association) election nomination was rejected. The call, which lasted 45 minutes, ended with Sandra asking Mammootty a question: 'If your daughter faced such injustice, would you tell her to stay silent for the sake of her career?' According to Sandra, Mammootty offered no clear answer, only saying, 'It's up to Sandra now. I have nothing more to say.' 'I will stay right here': Sandra refuses to be silenced Sandra claims Mammootty later withdrew from a film project they were set to do together. She didn't back down. 'If everyone is trying to oust me from here, then I will make sure I stay right here,' she said, asserting her determination to fight the discrimination she's faced in the industry. Mammootty walks down memory lane as he revisits his college! In her interview with OneIndia Malayalam, Sandra also questioned Mammootty's continued silence, especially given that the current KFPA President is reportedly his own house help. 'Shouldn't he be able to take a stand then?' she asked. Meanwhile, Mammootty's team is yet to respond to the allegations made by Sandra Thomas.
