Mammooka agreed to it very happily. After that, both of them decided to separate.
Siddique said that the news of the breakup was a big event. The reason for the separation is not given. None of that matters now. Time has proven that the decision was a good one.
He also said that there were many problems faced by Siddique and Lal at that time. Many questions were raised. The important question was the reason for the breakup. Both then and now have not answered that question.
The decision to break up was taken by both of them together.
After that he told Lal that the news of separation should be top secret and should not be told to anyone. On that day, the film page Malayalam Manorama decided to break the news and give the news. It was decided that everyone should know that they broke up only after hearing the news, not even the wives. Both of them kept it very secret.
That’s when the person giving the news decides whether to keep it very confidential or to give the news to Jacoby, an acquaintance of Manorama. Then the matter of the news was handed over to Pulli. After reading the matter, he said that he should call again in the evening before you break up, then tell him that the decision to break up has changed and he left. In the evening he called and said we are not changing our decision. So he decided to give the news.
Both of them knew that it would be a huge pressure if they found out about the breakup. If it gets out, they will say that there is a breakup, but we have to break up, that was the situation, says Siddique.
