Mammootty staunchly follows religious rituals

As we all know, it’s the holy month of Ramadan and Muslims fast whole day and spend time in meditation. Malayalam movie superstar Mammootty is also staunchly following the rituals even after having lot of assignments in hand.


Mammootty is one of the busiest actors in Mollywood but he does not miss his religious rituals. The actor was quoted saying that acting is his profession but wouldn't compromise with his religious beliefs. He added that he continues to perform his duty as a Muslim while acting.


Mammootty is now busy shooting for his upcoming movie Best Actor, which is being directed by Martin Prakkat, a fashion photographer-turned-director. In this film, Mammootty will be seen as a school teacher, who aspires to act in films. The movie will be distributed by Mammootty's own firm Play House and is slated for release in October.

This year, as the festival Onam has coincided with Ramadan, the release date of Mammootty starrer Malayalam movie Pranchiyettan and The Saint has been postponed. The film is likely to hit the theaters on September 7, which is also the birthday of the actor.
