Recently, Mammooka took to his official social media pages to open up about his views on CAA and the anti-CAA protests happening in the country.

The senior actor stated that we must rise above caste, creed, religion, and other considerations to forge ahead as a nation. 'We can forge ahead as a nation only when we rise above caste, creed, religion and other considerations. Anything against such a spirit of togetherness is to be discouraged,' Mammootty wrote on his social media post.

The megastar of Malayalam cinema has been lauded by fans and cinemagoers for finally making his stand clear, while most of the biggest stars of the country chose to maintain silence over CAA and the anti-CAA protests. Recently, Mammootty's son, popular actor Dulquer Salmaan, had also expressed his views on the same through social media.

Dulquer Salmaan had requested the protesters to follow India's tradition of ahimsa and non-violence through his post. The actor also stated that we must resist any attempt to destroy the secularism, democracy, and equality of our country, and urged the nation to stay united.

Several popular faces of Malayalam cinema including actors Prithviraj and Indrajith Sukumaran, Kunchacko Boban, Parvathy Thiruvothu, Rajisha Vijayan, Rima Kallingal, filmmakers Aashiq Abu, Geetu Mohandas, Zakariya Mohammed and others have openly extended their solidarity to the anti-CAA protests happening all over the country, through social media.

Prithviraj, who shared a protest video on his social media pages, wrote 'Revolution is homegrown. Always. #Rise'. The team members of Sudani From Nigeria, the National-award winning movie, have decided to boycott the upcoming National Film Awards ceremony, to express their strong disapproval over CAA.
