At the end of the episode, Mohanlal addressed his friend directly with a heartfelt message. He said, “Dear Mammukka, I wish you a happy birthday on behalf of me, the Asianet team and the Bigg Boss team.”
Mammootty and Mohanlal have shared a bond for decades, both as colleagues and as friends. Together, they represent the golden era of Malayalam films and continue to inspire younger generations of actors.
Mammootty’s career itself is nothing short of extraordinary. With more than 400 films in his name, he has been the face of Malayalam cinema for over five decades. Though primarily a Malayalam actor, he has also appeared in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and even English-language films.
His performances have earned him some of the biggest honours in Indian cinema. He has won three National Film Awards, eleven Kerala State Film Awards, fifteen Filmfare Awards South, and many other recognitions.
In 1998, the Government of India recognised his contribution to cinema with the Padma Shri, the fourth-highest civilian award in the country. More recently, in 2022, he was honoured with the Kerala Prabha Award by the state government.
