Born in Chempu, Kerala, in 1951, Mammootty is a titan of Malayalam cinema and one of the most awarded actors in Indian film. He has won multiple National Film Awards for Best Actor for work spanning several decades, including his early period drama Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha (1989). His later career has been marked by adventurous choices such as Peranbu (2018) as a father raising a daughter with cerebral palsy, Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam (2023) and the Gothic-tinged Bramayugam (2024). Regal on screen but constantly willing to disappear into odd, unglamorous roles, he remains one of India s most enduring stars.
