Megastar Mammootty upcoming movies in 2017
Megastar Mammootty has had a mixed year commercially. He had four releases in 2016. He started the year with Puthiya Niyamam, directed by AK Sajan. Upon release, the movie got mixed response from the audience and ended up as an average affair at the box office.
His next release Kasaba came with huge pre release hype. Mammootty was playing a cop after some time and the first look posters piqued the curiosity among the audience. Kasaba set a new opening day collection record in the box office. But some controversies evoked by some sexist remarks in the movie. Kasaba ended up as a decent grosser at box office. His next release White was a commercial disaster. Thoppil Joppan released during the Pooja holidays did good business amidst the Pulimurugan wave.
