Renowned South Indian star Mohanlal recently paid a visit to the sacred Sabarimala temple, and his pictures have been making the rounds on social media. It’s reported that the actor offered special prayers for his dear friend and fellow actor Mammootty at the temple. As one of the most iconic duos in the Malayalam film industry since the 80s, Mohanlal and Mammootty have not only ruled the silver screen together but have also shared a strong bond of friendship. They’ve collaborated on numerous films over the years, making their on-screen chemistry truly unforgettable.
Mohanlal visited the Sabarimala temple to seek the blessings of Lord Ayyappan ahead of the release of his upcoming movie, ‘Empuraan’. Several videos of the actor have surfaced online, showing him entering the temple and participating in various rituals. Following the Kettunirakkal ceremony, Mohanlal arrived at the temple for darshan, where he was warmly welcomed by the devotees. The excitement was palpable as fans and devotees gathered to catch a glimpse of the beloved actor, with many eager to click pictures with him.
Interestingly, there were recent rumors circulating about Mammootty being diagnosed with cancer, which led the 70-year-old actor to take a break from work for treatment. However, his team promptly dismissed these rumors, stating that he had taken time off for Ramzan.
As Mohanlal gears up for the release of his highly anticipated film ‘Empuraan’, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, the buzz around the movie is growing. Set to hit theaters on March 27 in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi, ‘Empuraan’ is being touted as the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster ‘Lucifer’. The movie boasts an impressive cast, including Prithviraj Sukumaran, Tovino Thomas, Indrajith Sukumaran, Manju Warrier, Abhimanyu Singh, and Suresh Venjaramoodu. With ‘Empuraan’ generating immense excitement among fans, it’s clear that Mohanlal’s visit to the Sabarimala temple is a heartwarming gesture, not just as a spiritual pilgrimage but also as a testament to the enduring bond of friendship between two of Malayalam cinema’s brightest stars.
