Megastar Mammootty is celebrating his 73rd birthday today. The actor has been appreciated for his rather unconventional choices in recent years, playing the closeted homosexual in 'Kaathal- The Core', the spine-chilling avatar in 'Bramayugam' and the black and white character in 'Rorschach'. Though he has been busy, the actor who turned producer in 2022, is not ready to slow down. Here's a look at some of his most exciting upcoming releases.
