Mammootty-Sethu movie will be a comedy entertainer

We had earlier reported that popular script writer Sethu will be making his directorial debut this year through a project with Megastar Mammootty in the lead. In a recent interview, Sethu revealed more details about the movie.

He said, “I am very privileged to enter direction through a Mammootty starrer. Till now I was working mostly in multistarrers, this time I am working with on a single hero subject with a Megastar. Our movie will be a clean entertainer with lots of humour.

Mammootty will be playing a very ordinary character without any filmy airs. His character will be like any other familiar man we see in our locality. The story will be told in a rural backdrop with Kuttanad as the main location.”

Interestingly, actor Unni Mukundan will be assisting Sethu in direction for this movie. Sethu said, “After finishing Mallu Singh, Unni Mukundan became very close to me. We stay in the same neighbourhood. He is more like a younger brother to me. So when I said about direction, he wanted to assist me and said the same to Mammootty. Mammootty asked him about his acting commitments, Unni was ready to put them on hold.”

Sethu has earlier worked with Mammootty in Doubles, which he had co-written with Sachy.

Mammootty is currently shooting for director Ranjith’s Puthan Panam. It is still not clear when he will join Sethu’s untitled project. He has also comitted for movies with Shyam Dhar, Ajai Vasudev, Shafi and Vysakh. The Great Father directed by debutant Haneef Adeni will be his first release this year.
