The flick Godfather starring Mukesh was one of the longest running movies in Kerala along with Chithram directed by Priyadarshan in the history of Mollywood. The duo broke up in 1993 and Siddique continued as a director and Lal turned to production and acting career in which both of them become highly successful. Siddique has directed two films named Friends and Hitler for Lal’s production house and both the films were super hits as their previous association as directors.

And Many years later Lal came back to direction with a sequel to their classic hit In Harihar Nagar ,which was titled as To Harihar Nagar which was successful. He also done its third part named In Ghost House Inn and a couple of other films such as Tournament and Cobra but except from In Ghost House Inn the other were box office failures. Siddique while done films like Chronic Bachelor with Mammootty, Body Guard with Dileep, Ladies And Gentleman with Mohanlal and the latest one is Bhaskar The Rascal with Mammootty again.

But this time there will be a difference and it is Siddique will write the script of this film and Lal will direct the film. They do not want to direct it together as it may result in a clash of their styles which they have developed independently. They do not want to resort to old methods as well. It will be the story of a master-liar whose character will be done by dileep and it will be Dileep’s first film with Lal as a director. Lal is directing and scripting a film for Mohanlal as well in the coming year.
