It was really a surprise news for Mammootty fans and Mollywood film lovers that Mammootty is doing his next film with director AK Sajan. It was a surprise because this one was not in his list of projects this year and after Kamal film Utopiayile Rajavu Mammootty was all set for doing either Udaya Ananthan directorial flick White or Nithin Renji Panicker’s debut film in which Mammootty plays a cop character with some eccentric mannerisms. But suddenly an AK Sajan project came out from nowhere and Mammootty instantly given him dates and want to do it as soon as possible.
AK Sajan is the co-writer of SN Swamy in the film Dhruvam directed by Joshiey in which we saw one of the most powerful character of Mammootty’s career named Narasimha Mannadiyar. A K Sajan was the one who wrote films like Crime File and Chinthamani Kola Case and in both those films Suresh Gopi was the hero and were super hit as well. We can also claim that his directorial effort named Stop Violence with Prithviraj in the lead was the first new generation film in Mollywood with its unique making style and narration of the story.
When AK Sajan came to the shooting set of Kamal’s Utopiayile Rajavu to narrate the story of this upcoming flick to Mammootty no one even thought for a minute that it will make mammootty stunned. And it really happened and Mammootty was so impressed with the story and right away given his node to start the film after his family vacation. May be he had in mind the lost opportunity to act in Drishyam due to date problem and later the film had become the biggest hit in Mollywood with universal star Mohanlal in the lead.
The film will start right away after Mammootty’s family holidays overseas and Nayanthara is roped in to play the female lead in the film and the character name of Mammootty in this film is Advocate Louise Pothen. The film is slate to be released in either November or December this year as per the completion of the filming date.
