The
Malayalam superstar Mammootty was
detained at the US airport for a
few hours. The airport officials
were apparently confused by the
name in the actor’s passport
- Muhammadkutty Ismail Paniparambil.
However, with the timely intervention
of the Indian Consulate, which was
informed by the Malayalee association
members, Mammootty was allowed to
proceed.
The security officials at the JFK
International Airport had been instructed
to question all persons entering
the US in the name of Muhammad Ismail
and this had triggered the confusion.
The actor was taken for questioning
for over two hours by the security
officers.
