Mammootty jets off to Sri Lanka for his next project with Mohanlal; Fahadh Faasil to join soon?

Mammootty and Mohanlal are gearing up to reunite onscreen after a long gap of 11 years, for the upcoming project directed by Mahesh Narayanan. Fahadh Faasil was confirmed to be part of the multi-starrer right from its initial stages. Even though later it was rumored that Asif Ali might replace him in the film, the recent updates suggest that the Aavesham actor is still very much a part of Mammootty and Mohanlal’s big-budget venture.

Mammootty, Kunchacko Boban fly to Sri Lanka

As reported earlier, Mohanlal arrived in Sri Lanka last week and reportedly started filming for his portions in Mahesh Narayanan’s film. Mammootty, however, reportedly stayed back for the weekend owing to personal commitments. But the recent updates suggest that the leading man has finally flown to Sri Lanka today (November 18, 2024), along with his co-star, Kunchacko Boban. The project is expected to have its official launch immediately after the megastar joins the location of the film.

According to the grapevine, Fahadh is now all set to join the highly anticipated project’s first schedule in Sri Lanka, along with Mammootty, Mohanlal, and Kunchacko Boban. However, nothing much has been revealed about the talented actor’s role in the film, yet.
