Mammootty to reunite with National award winner Salim Ahamed
Salim Ahamed is one of the most revered filmmakers in Malayalam at present. Though he is just four-film old, he is well known among non-Malayali cinephiles as well. All of his films have been highly acclaimed with his directorial debut ‘Adaminte Makan Abu’ winning numerous accolades. It was chosen as India’s official entry to be considered for nomination in the Best Foreign Film category for the 84th Academy Awards.
Salim Ahamed’s latest film ‘And The Oskar Goes To’, which hit screens last Friday (June 22), is currently doing well in theatres. The Tovino Thomas starrer which is loosely based on the director’s own experiences of taking his film to the Oscars has been well received by the critics. It is expected to have a good run at the box office.
Meanwhile, we hear that the director’s next film will be with Mammootty. The actor-director duo has previously worked together in ‘Kunjananthante Kada’ and ‘Pathemari’. Both the films were critically acclaimed, with the latter enjoying a 100-day run in theatres. It won the National award for Best Feature Film in Malayalam in 2015.
When Mammootty and Salim Ahamed reunite, Malayali audience will be hoping to see another quality film that also has space for the megastar to showcase his amazing acting prowess. An official word regarding their new project is still awaited.
