Megastar Mammootty is now all set to play the role of an advocate again on silver screen. It will be the film which will be directed by A K Sajan and the film is not yet titled. The film will start its filming very soon. Along with Mammootty Nayanthara will also play a key role in this flick. Reportedly Nayanthara will play the role of Mammootty’s character’s wife. This movie will be Nayanthara’s 4th film with Mammootty after Thasakara Veeran, Rappakal, and Bhaskar The Rascal. Even though Thasakara Veeran was a failure at box office, the other two are successes at Box office.
In this flick Mammootty’s character name is Louis Pothen and Nayanthara plays Vasuki, his wife. Louis Pothen was not only an advocate he is a communist in his political belief too. This character has much similarity to Mammootty in real life as he is actually an advocate as well as communist follower in real life too. The film reportedly tells about the inter caste marriage between Louise pothen and Vasuki and the problems they have to face after the marriage. Other actors who will be working in the film is not yet decided.

But he had done many memorable advocate roles in films such as Oru Abhibhaashakante Case Diary and Narasimham in which he appeared in a guest role. Nayanthara is now busy with her Tamil projects and waiting for the release of her film with Chimbu titled as Ithu Namma Aalu. She also had films with Jeeva, Jayam Ravi and Vijay sethupathy which are Thirunaal, Thani Oruvan and Nanum Rowdy than respectively.
