Celebrating the big day, his son and actor Dulquer Salmaan shared a heartfelt note for his superstar father and a real-life hero. Taking to Instagram, Salmaan wrote, "50 years of being an actor. Of dreaming big and never giving up. Still dreaming bigger. Of being better every day. Never being satiated. Of never tiring. Of forever being hungry to play the next great character. Forever striving to find the next great film. Of wanting to be known more as an actor than a megastar. Of loving cinema and the craft more than any actor I've met. Of inspiring millions. Of influencing generations. Of leading only by example. Of sticking to your morals and traditions irrespective of the times. Of being a stickler for quality. Of upholding relationships. Of being virtuous. Of valuing integrity. Of never taking short cuts. Of being the gold standard. Of running your own race. Of being a real life hero." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dulquer Salmaan (@dqsalmaan) × Along with the post, he also shared a throwback picture of Mammootty and him. The doting son also reminisced his father’s cinematic journey, "There was once a boy whose eyes lit up when he discovered the magical world of the movies. He dreamed of being a part of it and pursued it relentlessly. And from when he got his first chance, he worked tirelessly to make his mark. To make it count. For he values it. He maintains to this day he needs cinema more than cinema needs him. And no matter what heights he reaches, he makes his mountain only grow taller. Those who know him, know he's still climbing and will never stop. That mountain of being the best actor he can possibly be." Wishing Mammootty on his glorious feat many other south stars Prithviraj, Sukumaran, Keerthy Suresh, Mohanlal, Nivin Pauly among others also send their wishes. Check out posts: Today, my brother completes 50 glorious years in the film industry. I feel so proud to have shared the screen with him in 55 memorable films and looking forward to many more.

<p>Actress Meera Chopra, best known for starring in legal drama 'Section 375', on Wednesday said she was bombarded with threats of violence and rape on social media after she said she did not know about south film star Junion NTR and was a fan of Mahesh Babu.<br />
<br />
The actress, who is Priyanka Chopra's cousin, had recently held a chat session - #AskMeera - with her fans on Twitter in which she was asked about her favourite actor from South cinema. The actress admitted she was a bigger fan of Mahesh Babu than Junior NTR after which she started receiving abusive messages on Twitter.</p>

<p>"I conducted 'Ask Meera' session on Twitter and a fan asked me about my favourite actor from the south film industry. I said Mahesh Babu. Then somebody asked if I liked Junior NTR, and I said I don't know him and I'm not a fan. That's it.<br />
"As soon as I said that, I was bombarded with abuses, murder threats, rape threats, character assassination and threats against my parents. Some morphed my face with porn actors. I've got close to 30,000 abusive tweets so far," Meera said in a statement.<br />
<br />
The actress said she will be taking strict action in this matter.<br />
<br />
"I am already in talks with the cyber cell team. I've always advocated that women should fight for themselves and stand against what's wrong. Then how can I not do anything about this.<br />
<br />
"You cannot character assassinate a woman, give threats, and abuse her for sharing her choice. I have to raise my voice against such fan clubs" Meera said.<br />
<br />
The 36-year-old actor said she feels sad for superstars who have such a toxic fanbase. The stars should address such fan clubs instead of staying quiet. The actress even tagged Junior NTR on some of the abusive tweets and hopes that he "responds to his fans".<br />
<br />
Junior NTR, whose real name is Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, is a Telugu cinema star and the grandson of legendary actor-politician N. T. Rama Rao, who was known among his fans as NTR.<br />

I said Mahesh Babu. Then somebody asked if I liked Junior NTR, and I said I don't know him and I'm not a fan. That's it. "As soon as I said that, I was bombarded with abuses, murder threats, rape threats, character assassination and threats against my parents. Some morphed my face with porn actors. I've got close to 30,000 abusive tweets so far," Meera said in a statement. The actress said she will be taking strict action in this matter. "I am already in talks with the cyber cell team. I've always advocated that women should fight for themselves and stand against what's wrong. Then how can I not do anything about this. "You cannot character assassinate a woman, give threats, and abuse her for sharing her choice. I have to raise my voice against such fan clubs" Meera said. The 36-year-old actor said she feels sad for superstars who have such a toxic fanbase. The stars should address such fan clubs instead of staying quiet. The actress even tagged Junior NTR on some of the abusive tweets and hopes that he "responds to his fans".
