We earlier reported the news that Mammootty is doing another Johny Antony directorial film this year. It was titled as Thoppil Joppan and Mammootty is all set to play an Achayan role again in this film. The film is written by Nishad Koya who had written films like Ordinary and Madhura Naranga for director Sugeeth. Nishad Koya said that Thoppil Joppan will be a film for Mammootty fans, a film of fans and a film by fans. He says that the shoot will start soon and it will be a film strictly for fans.
Johny Antony and Mammootty had last done a film together in 2012 and it was the film named Thappana. Even though Thappana did not made much impact in box office, this pair had earlier gave success like Thuruppu Gulan in 2006. They had also done a film named Pattanathil Bhootham as well which was also not well received. But this time Johny Antony will make to get things right with a great success with Mammootty in the lead. There were earlier rumors that Johny Antony all set to do a film with Mammootty, written by Benny P Nayarambalam and it was titled as Thiruttu Gramam. Now it seems that they had dropped that project and landed on this new one Thoppil Joppan.
Mammootty is playing a Kabadi team owner in this film named Thoppil Joppan as per reports. Mammootty is popular for his many super hit Achayan roles even though his last few that kind of roles were not well received. He last played those roles in films like Nasrani by Joshiey and Praise The Lord by Shibu Gangadharan. So for Mammootty too this film Thoppil Joppan will be chance to make it all right with his Achayan role once again and make it a trend like Kottayam Kunjachan.
Anyway fans can eagerly wait for this one as the writer himself says that its for them to celebrate and enjoy their star Mammootty and it is strictly for them. The film may start in April as per the latest report.
