Actor Mammotty's blog a hit

Malayalam actor Mammootty is the latest celebrity to join the blogging bandwagon. Media reports say he is the first Malayalam actor to start a blog.

His first post in Malayalam is on the hot topic of the moment: recession. The blog is already a hit especially among his fans, with lots of comments already on his post.

Launching the blog on the New Year day, the actor discounted rumours the blog launch was a prelude to his entry into politics. His outbursts on political issues and his political affiliations have been topics of discussion in the state. (He is the chairman of Kairali TV, the ruling CPM-owned television channel in Kerala.)u00a0

Will he resort to ghost-writing like many other celebrities do? Can the netizens expect some original writing given that he has a law degree and was a practicing lawyer before hopping on to the tinsel town? It is too early to judge a one-post-old blog, though the first post is well-written.

Blogs have already started commented on the star's entry into the blogosphere. This blogger is wondering why the actor went for a blogspot and not a domain of his own like stars such as Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan do.

And this blogger claims he owns a domain named Mamoottyblog and that he is ready to sell it to the star!
