Written by Shresta Dutt on February 18, 2022
A 60-year-old daily wage labourer from Kerala is making waves online with his swish makeover. Mammikka, who belongs to Kerala’s Kozhikode district, traded his faded lungi and shirt for a suit and sunglasses while posing for a local brand. Pics from the photo shoot, captured by photographer Shareek Vayalil, have gone viral online, with thousands of people complimenting the newly-minted model.
Mammikka owes his newfound fame to photographer Shareek Vayalil. Shareek had taken a photo of Mammikka and posted it on his Facebook page earlier. The photo went viral for the labourer’s resemblance to actor Vinayakan.
Soon afterwards, Shareek asked Mammikka to model for a wedding suit company he owned. Before the photo shoot, the 60-year-old underwent a makeover which was captured in a video that has been watched by thousands of people on Instagram. The video has racked up over 23,000 views since being shared last week.
