Popular Malayalam film actor Mamukkoya breathed his last today (April 26) in a hospital in Kozhikode. The 76-year-old veteran was rushed to the private hospital after he complained of uneasiness while attending an event.
Mamukkoya was especially known for his comic roles. He shone because of his comedy in films like Ponmuttayidunna Thaaravu, Nadodikkaattu, Kireedam, Kavadiyattam, My Dear Muthachan, Ezhara Ponnana, Sandesham, Bhaagyavaan and more. But he was equally impressive in serious roles like the ones he played in Perumazhakkalam and the more recent Kuruthi. He debuted in Anyarude Bhoomi (1979).
