In a touching display of friendship and camaraderie, veteran actor Mohanlal performed a special offering at the Sabarimala temple in the name of fellow actor Mammootty. The offering, known as Neeranjanam, was made under Mammootty's birth name, Muhammad Kutty, Vishakham. Mohanlal also made an offering in the name of his wife, Suchitra. According to reports, the offering was registered under receipt number AH 77614. Prior to his pilgrimage, Mohanlal is said to have spoken to Mammootty about the offering.
The visit to Sabarimala comes just days ahead of the release of L2: Empuraan, the much-anticipated sequel to Lucifer, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film, starring Mohanlal in the lead, is set to hit theatres on March 27. Mohanlal and Mammootty have been entertaining the audience with their unique acting for over three and a half decades. The two, who have acted together in many films in the past, are currently working together again in a movie being directed by Mahesh Narayan.
Mohanlal's gesture has been praised on social media platforms, with many commenting on the strong bond between the two actors. There have been reports that Mammootty has been unwell for the past few days, but his team has released a statement denying these claims. According to the statement, Mammootty took a break from shooting due to Ramzan and went on a vacation. After returning from there, he will participate in the shooting of the movie with Mohanlal.
Mohanlal's visit to Sabarimala and his special offering for Mammootty are a testament to the strong friendship and camaraderie between the two actors. As they continue to work together in the film industry, their bond remains an inspiration to their fans and colleagues alike.
