National Award-winning filmmaker Krishand RK, who is renowned for his critically acclaimed works such as Aavasavyuham and Purusha Pretham, is reportedly in talks to make a film with Malayalam megastar Mammootty. The director, who is currently working on his upcoming web series, has apparently been in talks with the Kannur Squad star for a new film.

The director reportedly discussed the theme of the project and Mammootty seems to have liked the subject and is interested in taking it up. It is also reported that Krishand is currently in the final stages of scripting the film and will roll out the project in 2024. If reports are to be believed, this will be another promising film of the megastar to look forward to in 2024. The Malayalam director rose to fame through his 2018 web series Utsaha Ithihasam and went on to make films like Aavasavyuham and Purusha Pretham.
