Mohanlal took to his Facebook handle to pen a lengthy note for the Kuruthi actor and wrote, "Beloved Mamukkoya was a man without pretension and full of goodness. This unique talent presented the Malabar style on the silver screen in a very natural way. I have been lucky enough to act with him in so many films, from Doore Doore Oru Koodu Koottam to the recent film directed by Priyadarshan, Olavum Theeravum. That innocent smile will never fade away and will remain in my heart forever. It is a great loss to Malayalam cinema, and I offer my condolences on his demise." Mammootty also shared an image of Mamukkoya on his Facebook handle with the caption "Condolences”.
