Malayalam megastar Mammootty is set to return to the big screen after a brief hiatus. He had reportedly stepped away from the limelight due to health concerns, with some reports suggesting a break for cancer treatment. On Tuesday, much to the relief of fans, several celebrities across Kerala warmly welcomed Mammootty back to films.

Mammootty’s long-time associate George shared a photo of the actor with folded hands and wrote, “With eyes brimming with joy, I stand before you with folded hands. To those who prayed for me, stood by me, and reassured me that nothing would go wrong—my dearest ones, thank you with endless love.”
