Mammootty’s brother confirms actor’s recovery, pens emotional note on the difficult period: ‘The whole world prayed for one person?’

He continued, “For a long time, wherever I went, everyone’s enquiry was only about Ichakka (Mammootty’s nickname). During my travels for serial shoots, at railway stations, bus stands, on the streets, and at shooting locations, wherever I went, people would come and ask lovingly, ‘Mammukka is okay, right?’ The expression on their faces upon hearing my ‘yes’ showed the depth of their love for him. The whole world is praying for one person?! Yes. All the world I saw had been in prayer, wishing for Ichakka’s health to be restored. Though the situation wasn’t extremely grave, a lump remained in my heart. I prayed in every breath… along with crores and crores of people. Now that all the crises have been overcome, it is a relief like having swum across a sea.”

Expressing sincere gratitude to all those who stood by them and prayed for Mammootty’s speedy recovery, Ebrahimkutty concluded, “Thank you, to those who carried unconditional love for Ichakka; to those who prayed; to those who ardently wished for his return… And to every human being and God.”

On Tuesday, Mammootty’s longtime associate George and close friend, producer Anto Joseph, shared similar posts on social media, indirectly announcing that the Malayalam megastar had overcome his purported health crisis and was ready to return to acting in full health after treatment and rest. “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,” George wrote.

While fellow superstar Mohanlal shared an old photo of him planting a warm kiss on Mammootty’s cheek, along with a red heart emoji, MP John Brittas wrote on X, “Dear Mammukka, your strength and resilience are truly inspiring! We’re overjoyed to see you back, and we need your vibrant presence, charm and leadership for many years to come.” The megastar’s longtime friend, actor VK Sreeraman, also shared a heartening post on Facebook, along with an old photo of them, recalling Mammootty’s phone call to him after successfully passing the last medical “test.”
