Kutty, popularly known as
Mammootty, is a very popular Indian film actor. He is
among the few actors who have won the National film award
for best actor three times and six state awards in the ‘best
actor’ category.He was the recipient of Padmashri in 1998
instituted by the Government of India.
Biography:
Mammootty was born to Ismail (an agriculturist) and Fatima (a
homemaker). on September 7 1953 at Vaikom in
Kottayam district of Kerala . He did his high school
(pre-degree) at Maharaja's College, Ernakulam and then
studied law at Ernakulam Government Law College. During his
college days at Maharajah's, he got his first role, a bit
part in Anubhavangal Paalichakal in 1971. After passing out
from Maharajah’s, he practised as a criminal lawyer in
Manjeri for 2 years.
He started his career as an
actor in Devalokam, which was not released
in theatres. His acting skilll was first identified by the
famous writer M.T Vasudevan Nair and Film director
K. G. George. He first played as the hero in the movie
"Thrishna" directed by the veteran director I.V
Sasi,who had also directed his come back film "Aavanaazhi".
The film
New Delhi based on the novel, "The Almighty" by Irving
Wallace directed by Joshy was a turning point
in his career. His talent was
exposed by direction by M T Vasudevan Nair in films
like Vilkanundu Swapnangal and by K.G George in
films like Mela and Yavanika. He made his mark during
80’s and 90’s by enacting roles in films of stalwarts
like M.T Vasudevan Nair, K.G. George, Padmarajan, P.N. Menon,
and Bharathan. Later on his talent was utilised by
internationally renowned directors like Adoor
Gopalakrishnan, T. V. Chandran, and Pavithran.
Two of M. T
Vasudevan Nair’s films with autobiographical elements were
acted by Mammootty-Aksharangal directed by I.V Sasi and
Sukrutham directed by Harikumar.
Oru CBI Diary Kurippu
was also a major landmark in the history of Malayalam
Cinema. Three more murder mystery sequels were produced with
the same cast of characters- Jagratha (1989), Sethurama Iyer
CBI (2004) and Nerariyan C.B.I (2005), all directed by K
Madhu with Mammootty as Sethurama Iyer, an intelligent CBI
officer.
Mammootty touched the pinnacle of his career in Oru
Vadakkan Veeragatha roughly translated as “A northern
heroic folklore”, again an M. T. Vasudevan Nair
creation. Mammotty has received the National Award
for best acting.Mathilukal based on Mathilukal, a
novel by the Malayalam literary genius Vaikom Muhammad
Basheer was instrumental in getting him his first
National Award for Best Actor. His performance in two
commercially off-beat movies Ponthan Mada by TV Chandran,
and Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Vidheyan won him the award for
the second time. His performance in Ambedkar, an
English movie by Jabbar Patel won him the National award for
a third time. Mammootty has briefly crossed the
boundaries of Malayalam cinema and acted in Tamil, Telugu
and Hindi films. Though he proved to be only a moderate
success in Tamil after Mani Ratnam's Thalapathi,
his other successes in Tamil include Anandam by Linguswamy
and Kandukondain Kandukondain by Rajiv Menon.
Mammootty's presence was felt on the national level with the
biographical film on Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar, directed by
Jabbar Patel.
He
put an end to all criticisms by giving a striking
performance in comic roles in movies like Rajamanikyam,
Balram Vs Tharadas, Thommanum Makkalum,Thuruppugulan and
Maayavi which were of great success
