Australian Parliament Commemorates Mammootty with Personalized Stamps

In a remarkable tribute to Indian cinema, the Australian National Parliament has honored the iconic actor Mammootty by unveiling 10,000 personalized stamps featuring his image. This heartfelt gesture occurred during a special event organized by the ‘Parliamentary Friends of India’ in Canberra. Dr. Andrew Charlton MP, the representative of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Chairman of Parliamentary Friends of India, revealed the stamps, emphasizing Mammootty’s significant role in representing Indian culture globally. Attended by esteemed guests, including Indian High Commissioner to Australia Manpreet Vora and Australian ministers, the ceremony highlighted Mammootty’s substantial contributions to both the film industry and the community.

These commemorative stamps, a collaboration between the Australian Parliament and the Australia-India Business Council, serve as a testament to Mammootty’s influence in bridging cultural gaps. They signify not only his cinematic prowess but also his ability to connect people across borders. Distributed through Australia Post’s personalized division, these stamps will soon be available in the market and will be dispatched to homes via local newspapers, strengthening the cultural ties between India and Australia. This recognition not only celebrates Mammootty’s outstanding career but also underscores the power of cinema in fostering international understanding and appreciation.
