On September 7, Mollywood megastar Mammootty turned 70. Fans, colleagues, and celebs from all corners showered him with infinite love and wishes on social media. While social media was flooded with posts for the actor, all major local dailies came with center-spread pages paying tribute to the septuagenarian actor, while television channels aired special programs to mark his 70th birthday. Expressing his gratitude to all, Mammootty took to his social media handle to thank all his well-wishers for their kind words and gestures on the special day. "Overwhelmed and humbled by all the love today on my birthday! From those who know me personally to those who’ve never met me, you’ve have all sent your love in equal measure," he wrote.

"From the CM to countless other leaders. From Sri Amitabh Bachchan, Mohanlal, Kamal Hassan to countless actors, technicians, and film personalities across industries. Media personalities, Publications, Channels, Pages across the country. Most of all the viewers and film lovers have shared their own celebrations and sent their love in all forms and that has touched me most. I’m usually reluctant in celebrating my birthday in a big way. But to see those I know and more so those I don’t know personally, see me as one among their family, making this day something special for themselves, that is when I feel truly blessed. I humbly share my sincerest gratitude and return all the love I’ve received today, to each and every one of you multifold. I wish to continue to entertain all of you for as long as I can. Love and Prayers. Mammootty", he added sharing alongside a few pictures from his home.

On the work front, Mammootty will be next seen in ‘Bheeshma Parvam’ helmed by Amal Neerad.
