Mammootty is a patron of the Pain and Palliative Care Society,[182] a charitable organisation in
Kerala,that aims to improve the quality of people in advanced stages of cancer. He has been working
with the Pain and Palliative Care Centre situated in Kozhikode, India.[183][184] In 2018, he put forth a
project to provide the pain and palliative care to those suffering from cancer throughout
Kerala.[185][186] He is also a patron of the Care and Share International Foundation, a charity
organisation aimed at reducing societal inequality. Among its endeavours, the foundation mobilised
financial help for the heart surgeries of children with the Hridaya Sparsham project. A fundraiser
over social networking sites supported by Mammootty raised about ₹1 crore within a day.[187]
Mammootty is the goodwill ambassador of the charity project Street India Movement, which lists the
elimination of child begging and child labour among its goals. He has promoted the activities of the
movement, which coordinates with orphanages and institutions looking after the children.[188] He is
also goodwill ambassador for Akshaya, the information technology dissemination project of the
Government of Kerala.[189][190] He formally took over the role on 26 February 2006 at a video-
telecasted programme that was linked to all district headquarters of the state.[191] He also promotes
the anti-drug campaign Addicted to Life, launched by the Government of Kerala and affiliated with
the Kerala State Beverages Corporation, which aims to eradicate drugs and alcohol usage among
people, especially the youth.[192]
In August 2014, Mammootty launched the My Tree Challenge, modeled after the Ice Bucket
Challenge, which purports to encourage others to plant saplings, as the rules dictate that they should
if challenged.[193] The challenge was created by Abdul Manaf, an entrepreneur, and Imthias Kadeer, a
travel photographer. Mammootty challenged Mohanlal and Shah Rukh Khan to take up the
challenge.[194] Kazhcha, organised by Mammootty Fans Welfare Association and Mammootty Times,
in association with Little Flower Hospital and Research Centre and the Eye Bank Association of
Kerala, is a venture to extend free eye care and treatment. One of the major activities related to this is
the distribution of free spectacles to children. A special fund received from the office of the President
of India will be utilised for this purpose. Free eye camps will also be conducted at various places in
connection with this project.[195]
Media image and artistry

Unlike other Indian film industries, which saw the emergence of
superstars that commanded a great degree of fame and stardom
post-Indian independence, Malayalam cinema historically focused
on stories that dealt with the lives of ordinary people, and did not
generally have superstars, with the possible exception of Prem
Nazir.[70] This changed in the 1980s with the growing popularity
of Mammootty and Mohanlal.[70] Sreedhar Pillai of India Today Mammootty and Kerala Chief
wrote in December 1988, "So impregnable is their hold over the Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Dubai in
industry today that new films are launched only if they have the 2022
time."[70]
In 2005, films starring Mammootty, Mohanlal and Dileep accounted for 97 percent of the box office
revenue of Malayalam cinema.[196] During the 2006 IIFA Awards ceremony held at Dubai, he openly
criticised the organizers of the IIFA Awards for completely ignoring South Indian film by stating that
the Bollywood film industry should stand up to competition from the South Indian film industry
before calling itself international.[197]
In 2013, his role in Mathilukal was listed among the "25 Greatest Acting Performances of Indian
Cinema" by Forbes India on the occasion of celebrating 100 years of Indian Cinema.[198]
Mammootty was appointed as the brand ambassador of the Thrissur-based South Indian Bank on 16
October 2006.[199][200] He was also featured as the brand ambassador for Kerala Volleyball
League.[201]
