Mammootty, the timeless legend of Malayalam cinema, has enthralled audiences for over five decades with his versatility and charisma.
From hard-hitting, intense performances to nuanced portrayals of complex characters, he has set benchmarks that continue to inspire Indian cinema.
Since his early breakthrough in Anubhavangal Paalichakal (1971) to modern blockbusters like Bheeshma Parvam (2022) and Kannur Squad (2023), Mammootty has constantly reinvented himself, proving age is no barrier to excellence.
Born on September 7, 1951, the superstar turns 74 this year — a milestone that invites both celebration of his extraordinary journey and reflection on his achievements, wealth, and upcoming projects.
Net Worth and Business Ventures
According to Moneycontrol, Mammootty’s net worth is estimated at around ₹340 crore. His income comes from multiple streams: acting fees of up to ₹10 crore per film, lucrative brand endorsements, and extensive real estate investments in Kerala, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Dubai; including a scenic lakefront bungalow in Kochi.
Beyond acting, Mammootty has made his mark as an entrepreneur. He owns television channels like Kairali TV and has ventured into film production and distribution with Playhouse and Mammootty Kampany. He also owns theatres across Kerala, further strengthening his entertainment empire.
Collaborations with Dulquer Salmaan
Though Mammootty and his son Dulquer Salmaan; himself a star with pan-Indian acclaim; have yet to share screen space, fans won’t have to wait much longer. Their much-anticipated collaboration, Kalamkaval, is on the horizon.
In this film, Mammootty plays a powerful negative role, while Dulquer portrays the younger version of his character, Cyanide Mohan. Directed by Jithin K Jose and produced under Mammootty Kampany, Kalamkaval is now in post-production, with its teaser already creating buzz. The theatrical release is expected later this year.
As Mammootty turns 74, his journey remains a testament to enduring passion, talent, and reinvention. His influence on cinema — and his growing legacy alongside Dulquer — continues to shine as brightly as ever.
