Mammootty and Dulquer Salmaan’s Kochi and Chennai homes reveal their superstar lifestyle: Lavish lakeside bungalow, private theatre with 2,000 DVDs and ‘369 Garage’ of luxury cars

For a superstar who has spent more than five decades in Malayalam cinema, Mammootty’s homes offer a quieter glimpse into his life away from the screen. From his Kochi residences to the Chennai house he personally helped design, the spaces reflect his interest in privacy, cinema, family and cars rather than simply showing off wealth.

Mammootty turns 75 today, September 7, 2026, and the interest around his personal life has once again brought attention to the homes associated with the actor and his family.

Mammootty-Dulquer Salmaan's Kochi home with a lakeside view

The Mammootty-Dulquer Salmaan family home in Kochi is among the most talked-about celebrity residences in Kerala. According to a report by Times Now, the lakeside bungalow is valued at around Rs 4 crore and combines a contemporary design with features suited to Kerala’s climate.


Large glass windows open the interiors towards the water, while solar panels, indoor plants and natural light add to the home's practical side. The interiors use neutral shades, soft furnishings and artwork instead of an excessively grand style.

The home also has a swimming pool, garden and balcony spaces. Mammootty reportedly enjoys spending time on the balcony, which looks towards the garden and the water.

Dulquer Salmaan’s side of the house has a similarly understated look. Beige and white tones, an L-shaped sofa, artwork and a pink couch give the living room a more personal character. His interest in cooking is also reflected in the marble-finished kitchen, while a bookshelf nearby holds books and miniature car models.

A private theatre with more than 2,000 DVDs

Cinema naturally has a prominent place in the family home. One of its standout features is the private theatre, designed as a dedicated space for watching films away from the outside world.

According to Asianet News, the property also houses a collection of more than 2,000 DVDs from Mammootty’s personal collection. The detail is fitting for an actor whose life has revolved around cinema for decades, and the collection gives the theatre a more personal character than a regular luxury home screening room.

The theatre itself has been described as a professionally designed space with soundproofing, specialised audio equipment, motorised curtains and controlled lighting. It is one of the features that shows how cinema has become part of the family’s everyday living space.

The ‘369 Garage’ of luxury cars

Cars are another major interest shared by Mammootty and Dulquer Salmaan. Their collection is popularly known as the ‘369 Garage’, a name linked to the number that appears on several of their vehicle number plates.

The collection has been associated with luxury models including a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Range Rover Vogue, Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 GR Sport, BMW 7-Series, Jaguar XJ and Volkswagen Golf GTI. There are also older cars such as the Tata Sierra and Contessa.

Dulquer’s interest in automobiles is visible inside the home too, with miniature car models forming part of the décor around his bookshelf. So, the cars are not simply a collection kept away in a garage but something that has become part of the family’s lifestyle.

Mammootty House in Panampilly Nagar

Mammootty’s former family residence in Kochi has a different story. The three-storey house in Panampilly Nagar, known as Mammootty House, was home to Mammootty, his wife Sulfath and their children for around 12 years from 2008 to 2020, according to Asianet News.

The property has since been converted into a boutique villa, though the family continues to own it. Onmanorama reported that the house continues to attract fans, particularly around Mammootty’s birthday.

The interiors feature pastel shades, contemporary furniture, artwork, balconies and greenery. Sulfath, who has an interest in design, played an important role in shaping the interiors, according to Asianet.

The property also carries memories from an important period in both actors’ lives. Condé Nast Traveller India has reported that Mammootty lived there during professional milestones including his 2009 Kerala State Film Award win, while Dulquer’s early acting years were also connected to the house.

The Chennai house Mammootty designed differently

Mammootty’s Chennai residence tells another story. Architect Benny Kuriakose, who designed the house, recalled in an article mentioned on his website that Mammootty wanted a home that was private, practical and made using natural materials.

“I want a house to be built with natural materials. I do not want much concrete. I do not want large sheets of glass. I do not want marble to be used. Think about an unconventional house.”

The actor also wanted the home to feel lived-in rather than expensive for the sake of it. The design eventually included exposed brick, old teak, mahogany, traditional Kerala flooring, verandahs and gardens.

Kuriakose has also written that Mammootty personally followed the construction and visited the site regularly. In a later LinkedIn post, the architect said the house was his first project in Chennai and that it was being renovated after 30 years.

Taken together, these homes show different sides of Mammootty and Dulquer Salmaan. One reflects their modern lifestyle and love for cars and cinema, another carries years of family and career memories, while the Chennai residence remains an example of Mammootty’s preference for a private and practical home.
