Mammootty at 75: The man, the myth and the Malayalam cinema star
Mammootty, the renowned Malayalam cinema star, turns 75 years old. His connection with Rajasekharan Pillai, who used to work at McKinsey, dates back to 2004 when the actor first met him at a food counter in the first-class lounge at Singapore airport. Rajasekharan, who has been a close friend of Mammootty for the past 20 years, recalls how the actor remembered his pitch for a film even after all these years.
Despite not being a dancer himself, Mammootty has always embraced dancing on his birthday, even giving a performance with his wife Sulfath Kutty, and friends like Dulquer Salmaan, Ramesh Pisharody, and Anto Joseph. The actor's close-knit circle includes directors, writers, and industry professionals who often receive unexpected calls from him to discuss matters beyond cinema, such as current events, weather, and other personal issues.
Mammootty's birthday celebrations involve dancing with his family, participating in a skit, and engaging in conversations about various aspects of life.
