It was total bedlam and chaos at Megastar Mammootty’s reality show for Asianet Mammootty: The Best ActorAward 2009 held at the Dubai Airport Expo venue.
Trouble started after nearly 15000 Malayalees tried to enter the venue which could squeeze only 7000 people.
The programme is based on Mammootty's contribution to Malayalam Cinema. In each episode there will be a discussion about the various characters performed by the popular hero and closeness of those characters to real life.
The contestants have to compete in the roles done by Mammootty and the best among them would be chosen for the finals.
This is the first time in the history of Malayalam Television Channel, that a programme is named after a living legend like Mammooka.
The grand finale was to take place in Dubai where Mammootty will announce the winners. The winners will then get a chance to act in a movie that will be produced by Mammootty's production house, Play House.
However it was total chaos and a stampede broke out as the security staff could not control the crowds and police had to be called.
The organizers has said that things were completely out of control as they could not manage the crowds.
