Mammootty, widely recognized as the 'Megastar' of Indian cinema, recently opened up about the origins of his famous title. Despite its grandeur, he prefers to be called 'Mammukka'.
During a recent interview with Khalid Al Ameri on his YouTube channel, Mammootty reflected on his initial encounter with the 'Megastar' title. This moment occurred at a press meet in Dubai in 1987, where the local media honoured him with the designation.

Professionally, Mammootty's latest film, the action thriller 'Turbo,' has been well-received, earning praise and achieving box-office success.
