In terms of the popularity question… I would say the most famous Malayali in the US right now is probably Shashi Tharoor.
Him in the TV show Colbert Report.

“should not have taken 2 hours for that”

What if they had others other than Mammootty?

Was only one person (Mammootty) caught that day
in an airport?

jibs,

i think george’s point is adding to what i said earlier. it is not about giving mammootty any preferential treatment. if they detained mammootty because they don’t know who he is, and he is likely to be a threat, then they should have been able to figure him out very fast. at least, they should not have taken 2 hours for that. he is a reasonably famous person. if they took 2 hours to figure that out, then that speaks of their deficiency.

but if they detained mammootty knowing who he is, but still wanted to do checks on him, then they are completely justified. i think it was this point that george was trying to bring up.

i think US Immigration services folks had an axe to grind with Mammotty because they watched “Dubai” where he had made the saayipp pronounce “ambalappusha”

george,

Let us say Immigration Service identified Mammotty as a famous actor from Kerala, by googling for “Muhammed Kutty Ismail Paniparambil”, the name given in his passport. From an American perspective, why should they give him preferential treatment, something which they have denied even to a person who has been a US senator for 40 years.
