Confirmed: Mammootty to play a dwarf in his next

Mammootty has done several challenging characters in his three decade long career. After all these years, the veteran still manages to amaze with his performances. Of late, it is quite unfortunate that only very few movies are being made that could bring out the terrific actor in him. Seems like one such project is finally coming up for the megastar.

Mammootty is set to team up with director Sohan Seenulal for a new movie in which he will be playing the role of a dwarf. Sohan made his directorial debut in 2011 with Doubles, also starring Mammootty. The movie was a big failure at the box office. Later, they shared screen space in numerous films. When the actor-director duo team up after an eight year long gap, they will be hoping to correct the mistakes and reap success.

PV Shaji Kumar, a proud recipient of Kendra Sahitya Akademi’s Yuva Award and Kerala Sahitya Akademi’s Geeta Hiranyan Award, is scripting this upcoming movie. He has earlier scripted acclaimed movies like Kanyaka Talkies and Take Off (co-writer). The writer has collaborated with Mammootty previously in Puthan Panam, where he penned the dialogues in Kasargod slang.

An official announcement of Mammootty-Sohan Seenulal project is expected to be made very shortly.
