Malayalam superstar Mammootty expressed gratitude to Tamil actor Kamal Haasan for his heartfelt congratulations on receiving the Padma Bhushan. Mammootty responded on social media, appreciating Kamal’s kind words and suggesting they meet soon to catch up. Kamal Haasan had earlier praised Mammootty in a Tamil post, highlighting their mutual admiration despite not having acted together.
Kamal Haasan mentioned their long-distance friendship and expressed regret over not meeting more frequently. He also emphasized his expectation that his fans should support Mammootty as well. The reference to ‘Kopperuncholayar Pisiranthaiyar’ in Kamal Haasan’s post symbolizes a deep, trusting friendship from history between Chola King Kopperun Cholan and Pandya poet Pisiranthaiyar.
The legendary tale of the Chola King and the Pandya poet signifies unwavering trust and loyalty, where the king believed his friend would accompany him even in death. Despite doubts from others, Pisiranthaiyar did arrive after the king’s passing, demonstrating their profound bond of friendship.
