MammoottyKochi: Soft drinks major Coca-Cola may sign superstar Mammootty shortly as its brand ambassador for South India.

Sources point out that Mammootty, as chairman of Kairali TV, may face some embarrassment for he heads what is perceived to be a left leaning TV channel.

But sources for the company commented that " We are looking for Mammootty the chairman of Kairali TV and not Mammootty the Communist.''''

When contacted, Mammootty confirmed that negotiations were on with Coke, but refused to comment further.

Another Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is already the brand ambassador for Tata Tea.
