Mammootty unveiled a new Mela poster on Diwali.
The poster shows Mammootty seated at the centre in a fireworks store-style setting with the greeting Happy Diwali.
The image features several team members, two young girls in red sunglasses, and racks of crackers in the background.
Diwali brought a new look at Mammootty's upcoming Malayalam film Mela. The actor shared a poster with himself and several members of the film's team on social media. Mammootty sits in a chair at the centre. "Happy Diwali" is written on top of the poster, while Mela appears at the lower-right.
Mammootty's Mela poster details
The setting looks like a traditional fireworks store, with racks of crackers and festive merchandise filling the backdrop.
Mammootty, alongside others in the poster, is dressed in black, giving the image a coordinated feel rather than a casual behind-the-scenes look.
The frame features decorative boxes and a group photograph add texture, several people are holding different kinds of fireworks, and two young girls in red sunglasses stand near Mammootty. Bright firecracker packs line the shelves behind them.
Mammootty shared the poster on X (formerly Twitter), wishing everyone: "Happy Diwali".
