A 60-year-old Kozhikode man who is more familiar in his locality in his faded lungi and shirt, is rocking social media with his super glam makeover. The daily wage worker, identified as Mammikka, recently wrapped up a promotional photoshoot of a local firm wearing a suit and posing with an iPad.

It was photographer Shareek Vayalil who spotted the talent for modelling in this daily wager worker. He had earlier posted a photo of Mammikka on his social media page which went viral for his apparent likeness to actor Vinayakan.

Later, when this assignment came up, Shareek could think of no one else but Mammikka. His make-up was done by artist Majnas. Aashiq Fuad and Shabeeb Vayalil were the make-up assistants.
Mammikka now has an Instagram page where photos of him in regular clothes as well as the makeover have been shared. He is now a hero in his native Vennakkad, Kodivalli in Kozhikode.
