As an ardent admirer, I can’t contain my excitement! After five decades of unparalleled service to the Malayalam film industry, Mammootty has just earned a fresh laurel. His career is nothing short of a testament to versatility, deeply rooted at its core. At 73, this icon appears to show no signs of slowing down.

Lately, Mammootty has been drawing attention because his films have gained renewed appreciation from followers.

Mammootty’s career is now part of college curriculum 

As per a report from Cinema Express, the curriculum for the Bachelor of Arts (Honors) History program at Maharaja’s College in Kochi has been updated to pay homage to a notable figure in Mollywood (Kerala film industry).

Essentially, Mammootty’s career is now studied as part of the curriculum, since he was an esteemed graduate from the very same institution.

The upcoming elective for second-year BA students, called “The History of Malayalam Cinema,” now includes his life and works, a decision proposed by the college’s academic council.

In an interview with the media, I shared that Mammootty, whom I am following closely, is dealing with a minor health issue at present. Rest assured, he’s doing fine as we spoke over the phone just recently.

He mentioned, ‘Though we’ve been friends for a while without discussing our private matters much, lately, we’ve started to share more about our personal lives.’
