Mammootty’s Kozhi Thankachan will be shot extensively in Kuttanad

Noted scenarist Sethu will be making his directorial directorial this year. The movie starring Mammootty in the lead has been titled as Kozhi Thankachan. It is touted to be a rural entertainer that will have much prominence to humour.

Mammootty will be seen as in a totally relatable role of an ordinary villager in this movie. Our sources within the industry inform that the movie will be shot extensively in Kuttanad and nearby areas.

Kozhi Thankachan is said to be a three heroine subject and the makers have already roped in Anu Sithara to play one of the leads. The makers are also in talks with Nee-na fame Deepti Sati and Miya, eventhough they are to sign officially. Deepti Sati recently worked with Mammootty in the upcoming Shyam Dhar movie. Miya also shared screen space with Mammootty recently in The Great Father.

An interesting aspect of Kozhi Thankachan is that actor Unni Mukundan will be involved as an associate director. He will be assisting Sethu with whom he is very close ever since the Mallu Singh days. The Mammootty starrer will be produced by Muraleedharan and Santha Muraleedharan under the banner of Anantha Vision.
