Shylock will be a Rajamanikyam-like film, assures makers

Mammootty’s new film ‘Shylock’ was launched only recently and fans have already pinned high hopes on it. Ajai Vasudev is directing the movie and Joby George is producing it under the banner of Goodwill Entertainment. Scripted by newcomers Bibin Mohan and Aneesh Hameed, the movie is said to be an action-packed mass entertainer.

Recently, in a casual chat with one of the followers in Facebook, the makers assured that ‘Shylock’ will be a ‘Rajamanikyam’ like film. Considered to be one of the best mass flicks in Mammootty’s career, ‘Rajamanikyam’ has a cult following even 14 years after its release. If ‘Shylock’ indeed manages to live up to that level, it is certain to set the box office on fire.

‘Shylock’ has been planned as a bilingual in Tamil and Malayalam. Mammootty plays a financier’s role in the film and it is said to be a grey shaded one. Veteran Tamil actor has been signed to play a very prominent role and Meena will be seen as the female lead. The movie’s technical crew comprises of DOP Renadive, music director Gopi Sunder, editor Riyas K Badhar and art director Vinod Raveendran.

Full fledged shoot is slated to being from August 7.
