Mammootty
the Malayalam movie megastar was born to Ismail (an agriculturist) and
Fatima (a homemaker). He had two younger brothers Ibrahim and Zakariah;
and three sisters, Ameena, Sauda and Shafina. He did his high school
(pre-degree) at Maharaja's College, Thevara and then studied law at
Ernakulam Government Law College. It was during his days at Maharajah's
that he got his first role a bit part in Anubhavangal Paalichakal in
1971. He practised as a criminal lawyer in Manjiri for 2 years. He got
married in 1980 to Sulfaath. He was 'discovered' by M.T. Vasudevan Nair
who cast him in the unfinished 'Devalokam'. K.G. George was another
mentor of Mammootty's who made him into a bankable superstar. He has a
daughter, Surmi (b. 1982) and a son, Dulquar Salman (b.1986). He made a brief foray into Hindi films but
did not create much of an impact. He has won numerous Indian National
awards. |
