He accompanied the post with a still from the movie, depicting his character in a state of happiness.
Bramayugam is a horror thriller set against the backdrop of feudal Kerala. The film is likely to join the growing list of Mammootty's latest movies, which have become mileposts in the history of modern Malayalam cinema.
The internet is abuzz with glowing reviews, with many predicting that the film will shatter box office records. Earlier today, the movie's producer, Chakravarthy Ramachandra, shared a lengthy note expressing his joy at venturing into Malayalam cinema with the Mammootty starrer. He expressed confidence in the film's potential to captivate audiences worldwide.
He praised the movie's director Rahul Sadasivan for his "vision" and "unwavering" commitment to creating a cinematic spectacle that he believes will "set new standards and push the boundaries" of storytelling.
While the critical success of Bramayugam was expected, it remains to be seen how it will resonate with mass audiences. If the movie manages to succeed at the box office, it will set a new precedent, considering the experimental nature of the movie.
"While the trailer may have sparked various ideas, I urge you not to jump to conclusions about the story. I am saying this so that you are not disappointed. Watch the film without preconceived notions, so it won't spoil your viewing experience," Mammootty requested to fans, suggesting this was not an unconventional horror thriller.

Bramayugam has been shot completely in black-and-white, which is a significant risk in this time and age. However, the monochrome frames have also added to the intriguing nature of the movie.
Judging from the trailer, Mammootty seems to play the role of a sinister mystic, toying with seemingly unsuspecting victims to kill the boredom. The movie also stars Arjun Ashokan, Sidharth Bharathan, Amalda Liz and others.
