Actor Mammootty, who took a break due to health issues, has returned
Mammootty, the acclaimed Malayalam actor known for his roles in films such as Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, Bramayugam, and Bheeshma Parvam, has made a comeback to the film industry after a brief hiatus due to health concerns.
Rumors about Mammootty suffering from cancer and undergoing therapy might be put to rest by updates from film producer Anto Joseph and fellow actor Mohanlal. Joseph, in a post on Facebook, expressed gratitude for Mammootty's recovery, stating, "The prayers of many people around the world have borne fruit." Mohanlal, a leading Malayalam actor, shared a heartwarming photo with Mammootty on social media, expressing his gratitude for Mammootty’s recovery.
Mammootty's long-time associate George also confirmed the comeback, sharing a heartfelt message of gratitude to fans and well-wishers. Actress Maala Parvathy, who has worked with Mammootty in several films, expressed her excitement about his return, saying "Greatest news ever."
The exact nature of Mammootty's health concerns is not specified in the reports, but it is understood that he underwent treatment related to cancer. Worries about Mammootty's health peaked when Mohanlal trekked to Sabarimala to pray for him.
Mammootty was last seen in the action thriller Bazooka, directed by Deeno Dennis. Following his recovery, he is expected to resume dubbing in August/September 2025 and gradually return to shooting films, particularly for Mahesh Narayanan’s next film project.
The return of Mammootty has generated buzz in the Malayalam film industry, with Mathrubhumi, a Malayalam daily, reporting that Mammootty is currently in Chennai. The stalled projects, including Patriot and Kalamkaval, are expected to start work following Mammootty’s return. Kalamkaval, a movie with Vinayakan in a key role, is one of the projects that were on hold.
The Malayalam film industry is relieved and excited about Mammootty's return. His fans and colleagues are looking forward to seeing him back on the big screen, bringing his exceptional acting skills to new roles.
