Debutant Shibu Basheer to direct Mammootty’s next; Murali Gopy to script the film!
Mammootty is known for introducing several new filmmakers. Amal Neerad, Aashiq Abu, Anwar Rasheed and Martin Prakkat are some of them who got launched by the superstar and later went on to make it big in the industry. Latest to the club is Shibu Basheer, a journalist-turned-filmmaker. His debut directorial starring Mammootty is scripted by Murali Gopy. Vijay Babu of Friday Film House is producing the film.
An excited Shibu took to his social media handle to share his happiness in helming such a big project. He also expressed his gratitude to Mammootty, Murali Gopy, Vijay Babu and his friends and family members for showing the faith and standing by him.
Shibu Basheer’s post reads,
Happiness is too small a word and gratitude could sound too inexpressive….but the kind of emotional state i am right now i will have to fall back on those two words though they hardly convey my sentiments….there are far too many people i have to thank for, the stalwarts of movie industry Mammootty Sir, Murali Gopy Vijay Babu who reposed faith in me and my family and friends who stood with me and backed my dream even when it seemed going nowhere at times….this is just a humble beginning and i am very grateful for this opportunity and values it immensely as i know only too well that there are thousands out there harbouring the same dream….thanks again to everyone…and let ur prayers be with me as you have done all along…..
This is Murali Gopy’s first outing as a scenarist with Mammootty and expectations will be huge particularly after the record-breaking success of ‘Lucifer’. Vijay Babu has also added that it a dream-come-true project made on a huge scale.
More details are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
