Murali Gopy and Joju George join Mammootty in his next

Mammootty’s new film to be directed by Santhosh Viswanath of ‘Chirakodinka Kinavukal’ fame is getting ready to go on floors next week. Reportedly titled as ‘One’, the film is a political drama scripted by Bobby and Sanjay. It is being produced by Ichais Productions.

‘One’ will have Mammootty playing the role of Kerala Chief Minister. Vishnu Unnikrishnan, Renji Panicker and Sreenivasan were initially reported to be part of the cast. Latest to join the team is Joju George and Murali Gopy. It is said that both of them have been cast in important roles in the film.

This is the first time Bobby and Sanjay are scripting a Mammootty starrer and hence expectations are on the higher side. The scriptwriter duo’s last film, ‘Uyare’ got appreciation from all corners and turned to be a big commercial hit. It will be interesting to see them collaborate with Mammootty, and that too for a political drama, a genre that the star has not attempted in Malayalam for years.
