‘Angamaly Diaries’ fame Anna Rajan joins Mammootty’s Madura Raja

Shoot for Mammootty’s highly anticipated film, ‘Madura Raja’, which is a spin-off of Mammootty’s character from his blockbuster film, ‘Pokkiri Raja’, is progressing at a brisk pace. The movie is being directed by Vysakh, who helmed the 2010 film as well. Udhayakrishna, who last teamed up with the director for the mega blockbuster ‘Pulimurugan’, is scripting ‘Madura Raja’. The movie touted to be the most expensive project in Mammootty’s career, is bankrolled by debutant producer Nelson Ipe.

Madura Raja has a massive star cast and latest to join the team is Anna Rajan of ‘Angamaly Diaries’ fame. The actor joined the sets only recently. An elated Anna shared a photo taken with director Vysakh from the movie’s sets in her official social media handle. The makers had earlier announced that the movie will have three female leads in Anusree, Shamna Kasim and Mahima Nambiar. It remains to be seen if Anna has replaced any of them.

It is worth a mention that Anna was subject to social media bullying by Mammootty fans after she expressed her wish to act as the star’s daughter. She was trolled severely in the cyber space with heavy abuse before Mammootty himself called her and lent her support. We will have to wait and see what role she is playing in ‘Madura Raja’.
