Malayalam superstar Mammootty says he has no ill-feelings towards immigration officials at the JFK Airport in New York for delaying his clearance as they were just doing their job.

"It became news here because it was me and do you know there were 30 others whose clearance was delayed because the officials were checking their papers too. I had no issues at all and they treated me properly and I have nothing against them, " said Mammootty, who returned to Kerala Saturday after a nearly month-long visit to the US.

The veteran actor's exit from the airport last month was delayed because his name in his passport appears as Mohammad Kutty Ismail.

"I said who I am and when I told them that my website reveals everything, they were convinced after they checked it, " Mammootty told.

He said he was in the US as part of a fund-raising campaign for his close friend, attorney Stanley Kalathara, who is contesting the election for the New York City Council from District 25, which includes Jackson Heights and Corona.

Mammootty added that his trip went off well.

"The final election there takes place in September and ahead of that there are other programmes and I chipped in my bit for my friend, " he explained.

The superstar, who was away for a month, got busy with work as soon as he arrived here and is now dubbing for his latest film "Daddy Cool".

"My next film 'Patanthil Bhootham' is being released next month and will be followed by 'Loud Speaker' directed by Jayaraj, " said Mammootty.

Mammootty and Jayaraj are teaming up for "Loud Speaker" after the blockbuster "Johnny Walker" released 17 years back.
