Mammootty's PR team has denied the rumors circulating on social media about his health. Mammootty is completely healthy and the speculations are baseless, his PR team said.
There were many rumors circulating that Mammootty is suffering from cancer and has taken a break from shooting for treatment. Discussions related to this have been active on social media for the past few hours.
The PR team has now clarified that the rumors are fake and the speculations are not true. The team also said that he has taken a break from his busy schedule due to Ramadan.
"The news is fake. He is on holiday due to Ramadan. That is why he has taken a break from his shooting schedule. After the break, he will return to shooting for Mahesh Narayanan's film with Mohanlal," said Mammootty's PR team.
Meanwhile, after 16 years, Mammootty and Mohanlal are teaming up again for a film tentatively titled MMMN, directed by Mahesh Narayanan. The last film in which the Malayalam superstars acted together was 'Twenty:20', released in 2008.
The film features a big star cast including Nayanthara, Kunchacko Boban, and Fahadh Faasil. The film will also fulfill the desire of the new generation to see Mammootty and Mohanlal together on the big screen. There is a lot of discussion on social media about the casting of the film and the guest roles.
