Mohanlal agreed to do the movie but Mammootty backed out : Udhayakrishna

Earlier there were reports about scriptwriter Udhayakrishna directing a movie with Mammootty and Mohanlal in the lead. However, we now hear that chances of the movie happening is still uncertain.

Recently, Udhayakrishna in an interview said that he had plans to direct a movie with Mammootty and Mohanlal in the lead. According to him, Mammootty had agreed to produce the movie. The script was completed but the project could not take off. Mohanlal had not heard the script back then, but recently he heard it and liked it very much. He even agreed to do the movie but now Mammootty is not interested to produce the movie. Udhayakrishna added that, the chances of the movie happening is still uncertain and that he is keeping silent as he knows the risks involved in directing a movie.

If at all this movie happens, it will certainly create new records in the Mollywood box office. The Big M’s have previously acted together in 55 movies before. Some of their movies like Harikrishnan, No.20 Madras Mail, Vartha, Adiyozhukukal were huge blockbusters. Last time the two were seen sharing screen space was in Kadal Kadannoru Mathukutty where Mohanlal played himself in a guest appearance.

Udhayakrishna is currently on a high with the massive success of Pulimurugan. The movie is now the highest grosser in Malayalam cinema with a collection of around 130 crores and still continuing its glorious run. He is next scripting two Mammootty starrers, Vyskah’s Raja 2 and an untitled mass entertainer directed by Rajadhiraja fame Ajai Vasudev.
