His longtime personal assistant and makeup artist, S George, also wrote an emotional post: “With eyes full of happiness, I stand before you with folded hands. To those who prayed, those who stood by, and those who comforted by silence…with immense love, dear ones…thank you!”

Actor Ramesh Pisharody, a close friend of Mammootty, added to the cheer with a simple reassurance: “Everything is okay,” accompanied by old photographs of the star.

Mammootty’s industry contemporary Mohanlal joined the celebrations, sharing an old photo of him affectionately kissing Mammootty on the cheek, expressing happiness over his recovery.

Political voices too joined in. John Brittas MP penned a poetic tribute on Facebook alongside a photo with Mammootty:

“Won’t be burnt by the fire of pain… Won’t falter under the blows of trials… Will face the raging storms with a smile… Will walk through the pouring rains… Will stand tall on the rock of confidence… Dear Mammukka… There are still many miles to go hand in hand with us… We are waiting for many more expressions of acting excellence. With great joy, with full of love.”
