Ford Mustang is the car that is driven by Mammooty’s character Luke Antony in the movie. As seen in the video, Mammooty drives the Mustang to the spot were the stunt had to be pulled. He drives slowly and then turns the car off the road and accelerates. The rear wheel starts spinning and the car starts to drift. The car stopped exactly at the spot where director wanted it to. In one of the interviews given by other actors from the same movie, they talked about how everyone reacted after Mammooty pulled the stunt. Everyone was happy with the shot and the excitement can be felt in their voice in the video.

The video does not show Mammooty clearly but, he can be seen on the driver seat and even the crew has admitted that the actor did the stunt without any doubles. The car used in the movie does not belong to the actor. The actor himself admitted in one of the interviews that if it was his own car, he might not have allowed them to use the car in the movie as it gets destroyed in the movie at one point. Last year, Dulquer Salmaan, son of Mammootty also drifted a completely wrapped Ford Mustang as part of promotion of one of his movie. The video of the same had also gone viral on the internet.

Mammootty and Dulquer Salmaan are car enthusiasts. While Mammootty is into luxury and feature loaded cars, Dulquer Salmaan has a soft corner for classic cars. He has restored many cars and has a good collection at home. Porsche Panamera, Land Rover Defender, Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG are some of the cars in which the megastar and his son have been spotted recently.
