Maamaankam is an action packed film: Bollywood stunt choreographer Sham Kaushal

Bollywood’s leading action choreographer Sham Kaushal has been signed for Mammootty’s period flick ‘Maamaankam’. Sham, who has worked in movies like ‘Dangal’, ‘Krrish 3’, ‘Padmaavat’, ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and ‘Dhoom 3’, is highly excited about doing a period flick in Malayalam. According to him, ‘Maamaankam’ is an action packed film but the stunts are not just included for the sake of it. As it’s a content-driven film, the stunts are all laced around the storyline.

The movie directed by M Padmakumar is based on the medieval fair, Maamankam, where brave warriors from across the country would come together to showcase their skills at combat. It revolves around the life of warriors who plot to defeat the Zamorin rulers. Mammootty plays a ‘Chaaver’ (warrior) in the movie.

‘Maamaankam’ is Sham Kaushal’s second film with Mammootty on the trot. He is also choreographing stunts in the upcoming Mammootty starrer ‘Unda’, shoot for which is still progressing.
