Many celebrities from the world of Malayalam cinema, including Mammootty, came to Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium and paid their last respects to filmmaker Siddique.
Siddique and Lal's films were known for featuring relatable characters, setting a new standard for contemporary comedy, despite their collaboration spanning only six movies.
Siddique's legacy extends beyond just the realm of the Malayalam film industry. If you're familiar with the title Hera Pheri, then you're already acquainted with Siddique. Hence, this undoubtedly represents a significant loss for the entirety of Indian cinema.
Siddique began his directorial career co-directing and writing films with Lal. They helmed and wrote hit films like Ramji Rao Speaking, In Harihar Nagar, Godfather, Vietnam Colony and Kabooliwala.
