Mammootty (born on September 7, 1950 as Muhammed Kutty at Chempu near Vaikom, Kottayam district, Kerala) is a renowned and highly acclaimed Indian film actor. Mammootty is widely considered in southern film circles as masculinity epitomized. His profound looks, baritone voice and thick moustache underline his qualities of manliness. But four National Award ('Rajat Kamal' or 'Silver Lotus' award for the best actor), five State awards and five Filmfare awards that he had won for best acting assert that more than his looks it is his acting prowess that had won him wider appreciation and recognition. Infact, Mammootty is the only Indian actor other than Kamal Haasan to receive the National Film Award for Best Actor three times in his career. Mammooty has acted in more than three hundred films, most of them in Malayalam cinema. He has also acted in twelve Tamil, three Telugu, four Hindi and English [1] language Films. He has a fan following all around South India. He has been successful in both mainstream and parallel cinema [2]. He was also awarded the Padma Shri in the year 1998.
Mammootty, is considered to be the "Megastar" in the Malayalam cinema industry. Widely known for his social responsiblities and leadership qualities; he holds the post as Chairman of popular malayalam TV channel Kairali.
Biography
Mammootty is an actor who has acted in Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi and English. It was his childhood dream to act in a movie, become a great star, earn the love and respect of the people of his land and his country.
Mammootty's histrionic talents cannot be judged by the common yardstick for natural emoting. He recreates! It comes as a result of deliberate effort and homework. True to the modernistic tradition, Mammootty embodies the spirit of true professionalism and like any other professional he accepts roles that his job demands of him - he plays characters that seem facile or undemanding along with roles that test his talents so naturally.
No director would have any difficulty with Mammootty as the actor. Mammootty's portrayals have etched an image of Mammootty, as Kunhalimarakar in my mind, an image reinterpreted by history, an image quite unlike the war hero. Such an interpretation comes easily to Mammootty far more easily than it does to any other Indian actor.
Mammootty was born to Ismail (an agriculturist) and Fatima (a homemaker). He has two younger brothers, Ibrahim and Zakariah; and three sisters, Ameena, Sauda and Shafina. He did his pre-university (pre-degree) at Maharaja's College, Thevara, Kochi and then studied law at Ernakulam Government Law College. It was during his days at Maharajah's that he got his first role in "Anubhavangal Paalichakal"(1971). He practised as a criminal lawyer in Manjeri, Kerala for 2 years. He got married in 1980 to Sulfath and has a daughter, Surmi and a son, Dulquar Salman. His daughter, a graduate in fine-arts, got married to a US settled doctor. His grand son is Abhyan.
Acting Career
His first Film as an actor, Devalokam (World of Gods), was not released in theatres. Famous writer and auteur M. T. Vasudevan Nair and Film director K. G. George played an important part in blooming this brilliant actor's career. His talent was noticed in films like Vilkanundu Swapnangal (Dreams for sale) by M T Vasudevan Nair and Mela (Festival) and Yavanika(Curtain), which were films of K G George.
One thing that set him apart from his contemporaries is the fact that from the beginning itself, Mammootty was able to treat both art-house cinema and commercial potboilers with ease. He could make a mark during the early periods of his career itself by enacting roles in films of stalwarts like MT, KG George, Padmarajan, P N Menon, and Bharathan. Later on his talent was utilised by internationally acclaimed directors like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, T. V. Chandran, and Pavithran. He was a regular in movies of Harikumar, Mohan, et al. The movies by MT and Padmarajan, arguably among the best of Malayalam writer-directors, widenend the acting horizon of Mammootty.
Mammootty himself has mentioned in an article in the Malyala Manorama weekly that if he gets a chance again he would love to re-enact two of his characters - Krishnadas in Thrishna (MT-IV Sasi) and Zacharia in Arappatta Kettiya Gramathil (Padmarajan).
It may be mentioned that two of MT's movies which bear his autobiographical elements were enacted by Mammootty - Aksharangal (IV Sasi) and Sukrutham (Harikumar).
The film New Delhi directed by Joshy was a turning point in his career. The film was based on the story, "Almighty" by Irving Wallace. His portrayal of a victimized journalist, who systematically took revenge on politicians who beguiled him, was noticed and accepted well by the masses. By then he had become a respected actor.
His Oru CBI Diary kurippu(A CBI diary entry) was also a major landmark in the history of Malayalam Cinema. It brought to fore a new concept of villainy, fresh presentation of politicians and above all a refreshing idea of the hero. Oru CBI Diary kurippu lacks the song and dance sequences that are typical of Indian Cinema. The film went on to create box-office history in Kerala.
Subsequent to the success of the first CBI film three more murder mysteries sequels were produced with the same cast of characters. (Jaagrutha (1989), Sethurama Iyer CBI (2004) and Nerariyan C.B.I (2005){All directed by K Madhu } all starring Mammootty as Sethurama Iyer, the efficient but unassuming CBI ofiicer.
Mammootty touched the pinnacle of his career in ''Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha'' (roughly translated as 'A northern heroic folklore'), again an M. T. Vasudevan Nair creation. His depiction of a Chekavan[3] of distinguished valour but vilified by circumstances won him the top honours of the country, National Award for best acting. His histrionics matched the literary genius of M. T. in each and every minute detail.
It was his acting talent, coupled with his willingness to go to any extent to rationally portray the roles, that enabled him to act in both offbeat and commercial movies.
Mammootty became almost a regular face in Adoor Gopalakrishnan's films. He starred in three of his movies, Anantharam('Thenceforth'), Mathilukal('Walls') and Vidheyan ('The Servile'). The easiness with which he illustrated on screen the protagonist in Mathilukkal(based on Mathilukal, a novel by the Malayalam literary genius Vaikom Muhammad Basheer) was also instrumental in getting him his first National Award for Best Actor. His performance in two commercially off-beat movies, Ponthan Mada by TV Chandran, and Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Vidheyan won him the award for the second time. His performance in "Ambedkar", an English movie by Jabbar Patel, won him the National award for a third time. He is also a recipient of Padma Shri, one of the highest civilian awards in India.
He had briefly crossed the boundaries of Malayalam cinema and acted in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films. Though he proved only a moderate success in Tamil after Mani Ratnam's Thalapathi, his fan following is on par with other Tamil film stars. His notable successes in Tamil include Anandam by Linguswamy and Kandukondain Kandukondain by Rajiv Menon. However, his maiden Hindi film, Dhartiputra went unnoticed. Mammootty, nonetheless made his presence felt on the national level with the biographical film on Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Directed by Jabbar Patel.
Though he has been criticised as unable to portray comic roles, his latest movies Rajamanikyam, Thommanum Makkalum, and Thuruppugulan gave a fitting reply to critics. Mammootty, though a hugely popular star, is an exception in Indian films where dancing skills have to be a necessary part of an actor's repertoire. But the emotion and the depth that he lends to his characters makes him a well revered actor and makes up for his shortcomings.
Trivia
- Mammootty has completed another landmark in Malayalam film history. Now he becomes only the second star after Prem Nazir to complete 300 films as the hero in Malayalam. Mammootty reached this feat as he completed his latest film with Renjith titled Kaiyoppu.
- Mammootty also holds the rare distinction of appearing as hero in an astonishing 35 movies released in a single year, 1986, a feat exceeded only by Prem Nazir who acted in 39 movies as hero released during 1979.
- In what is believed to be the first time in the banking history in south India, Mammootty was appointed as brand ambassador by Kerala-based South Indian Bank on 16 October 2006. The Bank chairman said this was taking into consideration the huge following Mammootty enjoys among the NRIs and his image as a clean, pan-Indian actor.
- He is the Patron of the Pain and Palliative Care Society, a charitable organization in Kerala formed with the aim of improving the quality of life among patients with advanced cancer.
- Akshaya, the prestigious Information Technology dissemination project of the Government of Kerala, has Mammootty as the star campaigner. He formally took over as the Goodwill Ambassador of Akshaya on February 26 at a video networked programme which was linked to all the district headquarters of the state. Mammootty will take up the responsibility of spearheading a campaign by appearing in print and visual media advertisements and other publicity materials that will send the message of Akshaya to the grassroots.
- "Mathilukal (The Walls) has been shown in almost 40 international film festivals begining with Venice. Among my films, it is Mathilukal which has invited the maximum number of internaional honours. The sincere co-operation by Mammootty, the actor has played a major role in the success of the movie" - Adoor Gopalakrishnan.
- There was a rumour prevailing that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) would field him for one of the three Rajya Sabha seats from Kerala during June 26 elections. Later on the news subsided as Mammootty denied any such possibility. However, Mammootty is known to be close to the CPI-M. He is the chairman of Kairali television channel in which the CPI-M has a high stake.
- He was offered to act as Coca-Cola's brand ambassador/Model in Kerala during March 2004. But, pressure from various quarters, it seems, has prompted the superstar to give up the ambitious offer. Several environmental groups were calling for the soft drink's boycott.
- He recently published a book Kazhchapadu (perspectives), a compilation of articles he had penned for a column in the largest ciruclated Malayalam newspaper Malayala Manorama. M.T.Vasudevan Nair the doyen of Malayalam writers and a personal friend of Mammootty released the book published by Current Books, Trichur to C.V. Sreeraman.
- His remarks during the 2006 IIFA Awards ceremony held at Dubai had gained a lot of media and public attention. He openly criticised the organisers of the IIFA awards for completely ignoring South Indian films. Mammootty suggested that the Bollywood film industry stand up to competition from the South Indian film industry before calling itself international. Take into account that South Indians have won 14 out of 26 National Film Awards over that many years (Mammootty has himself won it thrice, Amitabh Bachchan once, Shahrukh Khan never!) and that a significant number of Hindi films are remakes of successful South Indian films — Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. And these include all old record-breaking Telugu and Tamil remakes. He boldly made comments like, Indian cinema is not just Bollywood, and Hindi is not the only language. Why should our films be called South Indian cinema instead of being under the banner of Indian films?
- While he was a law student, he and his friends streaked through the streets of Ernakulam (Kerala, India) as part of a bet!

Notes
- ^ Dr. Ambedkar although an English language film, was produced by an Indian production house
- ^ Although a distinction is disputable, main stream cinema is commonly used to refer to the films those are produced commercially and enjoyed by the masses. "Parallel", "art" or "Intellectual" films are those which are not only made for entertainment but for the allround competence.
- ^ Usually a person of a warrior clan who would fight to death for a king or other nobles of the land
