In no time, the comment section was flooded with reactions filled with admiration. A fan wrote, “What is Malayalam cinema without you brother. The boss is coming.” Another die-hard admirer joined in to add, “Expecting a mass entry.” Excited, one of them also said, “The waiting period is over. It’s time! The Return of the King.”
Earlier last month, Rajya Sabha MP and Mammootty’s close friend John Brittas shared the actor’s health update in a conversation with Reporter TV. He said, “Mammootty is suffering from a minor health complication and is currently receiving treatment. He is okay, and I just had a phone conversation with him.”
In the same chat, Brittas also opened up on the nature of their friendship. Offering an insight into their bond, he added they have been close for years, but avoid discussions about personal matters. “In recent days, we have been sharing such details as well,” he shared.
Before Brittas came out to clear the air around Mammootty’s health, the actor’s team had already clarified that the cancer rumours were “fake news.” The team noted, “He is on vacation because he is fasting for Ramzan. He is on a break from his shoot schedule as well because of that.”
On the film front, Mammootty was last seen in Bazooka. The action thriller also featured Gautham Vasudev Menon in the lead role. It is directed by Deeno Dennis. Looking ahead, he is set to win hearts with his role in the Malayalam crime thriller Kalamkaval, helmed by Jithin K Jose. Starring Mammootty alongside Vinayakan in the lead roles, the film is scheduled to release in theatres on 1 August.
