The biggest gainer in Malayalam cinema in the last two years, the only answer is Mammootty. Mammootty has won the appreciation of critics all over India with a variety of roles. The year 2023 was marked by Mammootty not only as an actor but also as a producer.
Mammootty has achieved a new milestone. He is the highest paid actor in Malayalam cinema. Mammootty has topped the list released by Times of India. According to a Times of India report, there are more than 10 million comments related to Mammootty. This time, Mammootty’s films like Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, Kannur Squad and Kadhal hit the theatres. Mammootty, who won the Best Actor award for his performance in Nanpakal Mayakkam, which arrived in theaters in January 2023, gave a surprising performance as dual personalities. Mammootty’s performance as James was the highlight of the film.
Mammootty played the role of a police officer in the film. The movie is produced by Mammootty’s own production house. Kannur Squad is directed by Roby Varghese Raj. The film, which is based on a true story, did well at the box office. The film is scripted by Ronnie David and Mohammed Shafi. Mammootty starrer George Martin was a big hit at the box office. The film grossed over Rs 100 crore worldwide. Meanwhile, this year, the audience saw another Mammootty through Kadhal The Core.
The first round of applause from the audience was for the courage shown by a 72-year-old actor to play a gay character with pan-Indian acceptance. When a super star like Mammootty came as a gay, the film was discussed at the international level. The courage shown by the Mammootty company to make a film with such a different theme was also appreciated. The film is directed by Jeo Baby. The film was also screened at IFFK and IFFI. This is the eighth time that Mammootty has won the state award. Mammootty’s four films will hit the theatres in 2023. Though the film Christopher was a disappointment, the actor and star Mammootty won applause with three different films of his own production company in 2023. Mammootty has three films lined up for 2024 – Bhramayugam, Basuka and Turbo. The posters of the film reveal that Mammootty, who has not been seen in Bhramayuga, will be in front of the audience. The poster featured Mammootty with a scary smile, grey beard, dark hair and a rosary around his neck. With this, the fans are wondering whether Mammootty will take him to 2024 as well.
