Over the last few days, rumours have been swirling online suggesting Malayalam superstar Mammootty has been diagnosed with colon cancer. On Sunday, a post on Reddit further fuelled speculation, claiming the actor was stepping back from work to undergo treatment. But Mammootty’s team has now put an end to the gossip, clarifying that there’s no truth to any of it.

The actor’s PR team stated that Mammootty is healthy and has simply taken a short break from his shoot schedule as he is observing Ramzan fasting. They emphasised that he is not dealing with any health issues, calling the cancer rumours “completely false”. “He is on vacation because of Ramzan. After the break, he will return to work”, his team stated.

Mammootty, who recently wrapped up the first leg of shooting for Mahesh Narayanan’s much-anticipated film, is expected to rejoin the sets soon. The film, which also stars Mohanlal and Fahadh Faasil, is temporarily titled MMMN (Mammootty, Mohanlal, Mahesh Narayanan). Filming for this big-budget project has already started in Sri Lanka and will continue across various locations including Delhi, Hyderabad, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, and London.

Despite the break, Mammootty’s calendar looks packed for the months ahead. He was last seen in Dominic and the Ladies' Purse, where he played a washed-up detective entangled in a conspiracy after being hired to find the owner of a lost purse. The film, produced by Mammootty’s own banner, Mammootty Kampany, received a mixed response from critics.

Up next, Mammootty will appear in Bazooka, an action thriller set to hit theatres on April 10. Another much-discussed project on the horizon is a film directed by Jithin K Jose, in which Mammootty plays a character inspired by the notorious serial killer Cyanide Mohan.

Mammootty recently won his 15th Filmfare Award for his performance in Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, and was also widely praised for his role in Kaathal: The Core.

For now, fans can rest easy knowing the actor is in good health and taking a well-deserved break before returning to work on his exciting new ventures.

Kanye West slams Kim Kardashian over North West’s music debut with Diddy amid kids' trademark battle

Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, has launched a public attack against his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, accusing her of blocking their daughter North West from featuring on his new song and taking full control of their children’s trademarks. What began as a disagreement over their daughter’s involvement in Ye’s latest track has spiralled into a fierce battle over parental rights, creative freedom, and the future of their children’s identities.

Ye recently dropped a new track, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine, featuring North West, Sean “Diddy” Combs, King Combs, and Chicago artist Jasmine Williams. However, behind the scenes, Kim reportedly intervened to prevent North’s appearance, allegedly sending legal letters to stop her participation. Kim’s reason? She claims to be protecting North from being associated with Diddy, who is currently facing serious legal charges. But critics argue Kim’s move is less about safeguarding her daughter and more about maintaining control.
