Unlike other Indian film industries, which saw the emergence of superstars that commanded a great degree of fame and stardom post-Indian independence, Malayalam cinema historically focused on stories that dealt with the lives of ordinary people, and did not generally have superstars, with the possible exception of Prem Nazir.^[59] This changed in the 1980s with the growing popularity of Mammootty and Mohanlal.^[59] Sreedhar Pillai of India Today wrote in December 1988, "So impregnable is their hold over the industry today that new films are launched only if they have the time."^[59]

In 2005, films starring Mammootty, Mohanlal and Dileep accounted for 97 percent of the box office revenue of Malayalam cinema.^[205] During the 2006 IIFA Awards ceremony held at Dubai, he openly criticised the organizers of the IIFA Awards for completely ignoring South Indian film by stating that the Bollywood film industry should stand up to competition from the South Indian film industry before calling itself international.^[206]
