Mamta Mohandas and Anoop Menon team up for a horror thriller titled ‘Neeli’
Horror flicks are a rarity in Malayalam cinema unlike neighboring industries like Kollywood where horror films, most of them horror-comedies, are being released every Friday, literally. Prithviraj’s Ezra was the lasted noted horror movie in Malayalam. Now debutant Althaf Rahman is coming up with a horror film titled ‘Neeli’.
Mamta Mohandas and Anoop Menon are playing the lead roles in the movie. Neeli looks like a female-centric movie as the first look poster features only Mamta Mohandas. Kalliyankattu Neeli is a very popular ghost story in Kerala and even a movie of the same name was made way back in 1979. It remains to be seen if Neeli, the upcoming Mamta Mohandas starrer, has something to do with Kalliyankattu Neeli.
Mamta Mohandas has also signed for ‘Vijay Superum Pournamiyum’ in which she has been paired opposite opposite Asif Ali. Jis Joy of ‘Bicycle Thieves’ and ‘Sunday Holiday’ fame is directing this movie. Anoop Menon on the other hand is busy shooting for ‘Ente Mezhuthiri Athazhangal’, which he is also scripting. His next release is B Tech, in which he is playing a crucial role alongside Asif Ali.
