In a recent interview, the director revealed that Mammootty is one of his closest friends and that they are planning to do a movie very soon. If things turn out as per plans, they will start works this year itself.

‘Oral Mathram’, which got in the year 1997, was the last Mammootty film directed by Sathyan Anthikad.
