Mammootty and Mohanlal on ZEE5. A quiet Tamil drama earning praise on Netflix. A debut director making his mark on JioHotstar. Three reasons to stay in this week.
India's top civilian honour, the Padma Awards 2026, recognises icons from entertainment including Dharmendra (posthumous), Mammootty, Alka Yagnik, R. Madhavan, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Satish Shah, and more.
Tickets for 'Patriot' disappeared within minutes of booking opening. With pre-sales nearing Rs 10 crore globally, the film is heading toward one of the biggest Malayalam openings ever.
Shock waves spread across the Malayalam film industry after a deadly explosion during festival preparations in Thrissur. Celebrities and leaders offered condolences as relief announcements followed for victims and the injured.
'Bramayugam' starring Mammootty has made history as the first Indian feature film screened at Los Angeles’ Academy Museum. The Malayalam folk horror is now gaining global recognition for its haunting story and stellar performance.
Ahead of the official declaration of Kerala as an “extreme poverty-free” state on November 1, the Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers in Kerala have written an open letter to actors Mohanlal, Mammootty and Kamal Haasan, expressing concern that the state government’s claim does not reflect the grim reality faced by its “poorest workers.”
But Mammootty and Mohanlal are not the only big names in the film. The cast also includes powerhouse performers like Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, and Revathy.
Soon after, Mammootty was spotted in Hyderabad, where he has joined the shooting of his upcoming project. Interestingly, he also met filmmaker Anurag Kashyap during his visit.
Malayalam cinema’s treasured pride, fastened at the hip with Mohanlal, is a superstar who blends into every role he plays. Normally, it’s the other way with superstars. Mammootty doesn’t think of himself as a star, let alone a superstar. And he isn’t faking it.
At first glance, it just looked like a bold fashion choice. But a closer look revealed something very special. The shirt was covered in pictures of Mammootty taken through different stages of his career.
