Mollywood megastar Mammootty's age is always discussed in social media and film columns. The audience describes the megastar as an actor whose age is running in reverse gear. Mammootty's new looks are celebrated not only by his fans but also by his colleagues.
Now another discussion on the 71-year-old actor's age has come to the spotlight. It all started when a Facebook page uploaded a photo of Hollywood legendary actor Tom Cruise, admiring his looks at the age of 60.
As soon as the picture of Cruise dressed in all black was uploaded, Mammootty's fans reportedly flooded the comment section of the post with images of the Malayalam star.
The Hollywood actor's image was captioned: "Tom Cruise at the Age of 60 Years." The CBI 5 actor's fans responded: "Just 71 years old..Mammootty Indian Actor". "71 years YOUNG! Mammootty," said another.
While Cruise is 60, Mammootty is a decade older.
Tom Cruise recently released a sequel of his 1986 hit Top Gun, which made a record collection at the box office. Top Gun: Maverick became only the second movie after the Tom Holland-starrer Spider-Man: No Way Home, to cross the $1 billion milestone since the start of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Mammootty made his debut as an actor in the 1971 film Anubhavangal Paalichakal. He has worked in over 400 films. The three-time National Award winner has also featured in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi films.
The 71-year-old actor is best-known for his performances in films like Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha, Adiyozhukkukal, Aavanazhi, Mahayanam, Dhruvam, Vatsalyam, The King and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar to name a few.
Bheeshma Parvam, Madhura Raja, Shylock and The Priest have been some of his recent highest grossing films.
