Keralites are all set to celebrate the much-awaited festival Onam and it commenced today with the arrival of Atham. Meanwhile, megastar Mammootty reportedly gifted Onakkodi (new clothes) to the underprivileged people in Wayanad, via his charity foundation.
According to reports, the Onakkodi were distributed to about 77 people belonging to 15 families from the Karakandi colony in the Pulpally forest station range.
New clothes are integral to Onam festivities. Elders gift ‘onakkodi’ or ‘onappudava’ (‘kodi’ means new and ‘pudava’ means cloth in Malayalam) to younger members in the family. Mundu and saree, the traditional wears of men and women of Kerala, are the usual gifts.
On the other hand, Mammootty was recently filming for ‘Christopher’ directed by B Unnikrishnan. The film is touted to be a thriller, and Mammootty is expected to essay the role of a cop in the film. The megastar will also be seen in ‘Rorschach’.
