The
Keralites
are
celebrating
the
most-loved
festival,
Onam,
today.
Unlike
the
previous
years,
the
excitement
level
is
a
bit
lower
for
this
Onam,
as
the
world
is
fighting
the
novel
coronavirus
pandemic.
The
Kerala
government
has
canceled
all
celebrations
this
year
and
has
requested
the
public
to
stay
and
home
and
have
a
low-key
Onam
celebration
this
time.
Coming
to
the
Malayalam
cinema,
there
are
no
theatrical
releases
this
year,
due
to
the
lockdown.
But,
this
has
been
compensated
with
the
three
direct
OTT
releases.
The
popular
faces
of
Malayalam
and
Indian
film
industries,
including
Mammootty,
Mohanlal,
Kamal
Haasan,
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
Dulquer
Salmaan,
Suresh
Gopi,
and
others
wished
their
fans
and
followers
on
the
special
occasion,
through
their
social
media
pages.
Here
is
what
the
actors
have
to
say...
Mammootty,
the
megastar
wished
his
fans
and
followers
a
happy
Onam,
by
posting
a
special
video
on
his
official
social
media
pages.
The
Bilal
actor
requested
the
fans
to
find
happiness
in
little
things,
and
stay
safe
this
Onam.
He
also
added
we
should
stand
united
to
fight
this
deadly
pandemic.
Mohanlal
posted
a
special
message
on
his
official
social
media
pages
and

The
superstar
reminded
the
importance
of
social
distancing
and
following
the
governments'
safety
guidelines
amidst
Onam
celebrations,
in
his
special
message.
