Did Mammootty lost the opportunity to play the role of Karnan ?

A report is coming now from Mollywood and from sources we learned that Mega star Mammootty may lose the opportunity to play the epic character of Karnan. Actor/director Sreekumar in a recent media interview said that he is planning a project for Mammootty and it will be based on Mahabharatha’s one of the epic characters named Karnan. But the latest reports says that Mammootty might lose the opportunity to play that role because a film based on Karnan with the title Karnan is already announced by R S Vimal-Prithviraj team last day.

The Prithviraj- RS Vimal film is a 50 crore budget project which will be financed by Dubai based producer Venu Kunnappilly. The scripting is in progress and the shoot will start after it got completed. The film is officially launched now and the first look motion poster is already out. It had also become a topic of discussion among film lovers and in social media as well. P Sreekumar who had directed a film with Mammootty earlier named Vishnu in 1994 said that he was behind this character Karnan for many years. He was travelling and studying about the character for a long time and the planning about the project is on with Mammootty in the lead.

But now the billon dollar question is that whether they will continue with the project even after the launch of the RS Vimal-Prithviraj film. If they decides to drop the project, then it will be a lost opportunity for Mammootty to play yet another great character in his career. Anyway the Prithviraj project based on Karnan is full on and we have to wait for more details about the Mammootty-P Sreekumar project based on the same character.

After hearing this news of Mammootty’s Karnan, the discussion about the two films had become hotter in social Media.
