Social media fans immediately chimed in, praising Mammootty as the safest and “best rider” for wearing a helmet. Others speculated whether the post was a subtle hint at the upcoming Kerala State Film Awards on Saturday, with comments joking, “A big signal for tomorrow — the award is for this actor, psychological move by Kerala Police, intelligence report or what?”
Reports suggest that the final contenders for Best Actor include Mammootty, Asif Ali, Vijay Raghavan and Tovino Thomas. Mohanlal also features on the list for the Best Debut Director category. A total of 36 films have reached the final round of consideration.
