A news is coming which will make the lovers of Mega star Mammootty the happiest people in this world if it is true or become true in the course of time. The news is that Mammootty will be seen in a Kollywood film directed by none other the director of magnum opus films in Indian cinema. Yes, you guessed it right, it is Shankar. The reports says that Shankar is planning to make Mahabharatha in big screen and Mammootty has been chosen to play the role of Karnna in that film. The news is not at all a confirmed one as of now as the director and the actor is tight lipped about the news.
Anyway Mammootty is doing a kollywood film this year which will be directed by Ram, who got national award for his famous film Thankameenkal last year and the director himself announced the news that his next one will be with Mammootty and they are planning to start the film within 3-4 months from now. They are planning to complete it before this year ends. Yuvansankar Raja is chosen to compose the music for this this film and apart from this, no other members of the film crew and artists not yet chosen. The title of the will also will be announced later.
Ram is now busy with a work and he will start Mammootty film after he finishes his current work. Ram entered into Kollywood through the film Katrathutamil starring Jeeva and Anjali. His second film Thankameenkal had won 3 national awards last year. And the reported Shankar film will be a big budget one as usual if it materialize. Mammootty has a number of hits in kollywood like Maunamsammatham, Anandam, Thalapathy and Kandukondein Kandukondein and it will be another success for sure if the shanker film happens. Every actor in Indian cinema wants to work with Shankar.
Shankar always gives roles to mollywood actors in his films even from the very beginning starting from Nedumudivenu in Indian to Suresh Gopi in his latest film I. Many time he tried to get Mohanlal in his films ( Mohanlal was shanker’s choice for the antagonist in Sivaji which was later played by Suman due to the unavailability of Mohanlal) choice and even Mohanlal was the first choice of Shankar in the place of Suresh Gopi in I as Suresh Gopi said it in an interview recently. Anyway if the reports come true it will be a big day for Mammootty fans and film lovers of Mollywood.
