Mammootty to star in ace filmmaker Ranjith’s Bilathikadha!

We had recently reported about Ranjith roping in youngsters Niranj and Anu Sithara to play the lead roles in his next. The movie titled as Bilathikadha is scripted by Sethu. There were reports about a superstar also being a part of the cast and the latest we hear is that Mammootty will be doing a guest appearance in the film.

Mammootty and Ranjith have worked together in several films and share a very close bonding. Some of their movies like Kaiyyoppu, Paleri Manikyam: Oru Pathirakolapathakathinte Katha and Pranchiyettan and the Saint were widely acclaimed. The director’s last film Puthan Panam also had Mammootty in the lead.

In Bilathikadha, the megastar will be doing a small yet crucial role. The supporting cast includes actors like Kalabhavan Shajon, Suresh Krishna, Kaniha Dileesh Pothan and Kottayan Nazeer among others. The movie is scripted by noted scenarist Sethu. Incidentally, this is only the third time that Ranjith will be directing a movie for which he has not written the script. This upcoming movie will be shot completely in London. Prashanth Nair will be cranking the camera and Sandeep will be handling the edits.

Bilathikadha is being produced by Maha Subair under the banner of Varnachitra Big Screen.
