Joy Mathew to direct Dulquer Salmaan in a political thriller

After the widely acclaimed ‘Shutter’, Joy Mathew is set to team up with Dulquer Salmaan for a political thriller. Joy Mathew is currently working on the script and shoot will be commencing in January 2020. Dulquer’s own banner Wayfarer Films will be associated with the production. Pre-production works are still progressing after which an official announcement will be made.

Joy Mathew’s directorial debut ‘Shutter’ was a critically acclaimed film that got screened at several international film festivals. It was also remade in six Indian languages. The film showcased the moral hypocrisies in Kerala’s patriarchal society. He followed it up with a similar themed ‘Uncle’, that had Mammootty in the lead. Joy Mathew penned the script and it was directed by Gireesh Damodar. The film won the Kerala State Award for best story.

It will be interesting to see how Joy Mathew directs Dulquer Salmaan, who enjoys a huge fan following among the youth. The star is currently shooting simultaneously for ‘Kurup’ and Anoop Sathyan’s untitled film co-starring Shobhana, Suresh Gopi and Kalyani Priyadarshan. Both these films are also produced under his banner.

Shylock’s highlight will be the freshness in its script: Ajai Vasudev

Mammootty’s ‘Shylock’ is getting ready amidst high expectations. The film directed by Ajai Vasudev is shaping up as an action packed mass entertainer. Bibin Mohan and Aneesh Hameed have scripted the film. It is being produced by Joby George of Goodwill Entertainment.

Ajai Vasudev had earlier directed Mammootty in ‘Rajadhiraja’ and ‘Masterpiece’. In a recent interview, when asked about how different ‘Shylock’ will be from his other two films, the director said that it’s the script that’s the biggest highlight. According to Ajai Vasudev, ‘Shylock’ is a family based mass entertainer. It is a complete package with all necessary commercial ingredients like action, humour, dance and emotions.

Mammootty plays a financier’s role in the film and his character is said to be a grey shaded one. Along with him, the film also has veteran Tamil actor Raj Kiran and Meena in major roles. Bibin George, Baiju Santhosh, Siddique, Kalabhavan Shajohn, Hareesh Kanaran and many others are part of the cast.

The makers are planning to release it for Christmas in December.
