Mammootty is now going through the most exciting phase of his acting career. The legendary actor, who completed 5 decades in the film industry, is set to team up with newcomer Jithin K Jose for his upcoming outing in the Malayalam film industry. As reported earlier, the much-awaited untitled film is expected to start rolling, very soon. Interestingly, the sources close to the Mammootty starrer have dropped a major update on the megastar’s role in the film.
According to the rumour mills, the veteran actor is all set to play a cop yet again, in the upcoming project directed by Jithin K Jose. The movie, touted to be an out-and-out crime thriller, reportedly features Mammootty as a senior police officer, who leads an investigation. However, the megastar’s role in the film is said to be entirely different from his cop role from the 2023-released blockbuster, Kannur Squad. From Mammootty’s new look which is now going viral on social media, it is safe to assume that the reports are true.

As per the latest updates, a popular young actor is in talks to play a pivotal role in the untitled project. Even though the role was initially offered to Prithviraj Sukumaran, the actor-filmmaker turned down the offer due to his busy schedule. The recent reports suggest that Tovino Thomas is now the frontrunner for the role. Sushin Shyam, the famous music composer has joined the technical crew of the film. Jomon T John ISC has been roped in to handle the cinematography. The project is bankrolled by Mammootty himself, under his home banner Mammootty Kampany.
The megastar will be next seen in Bazooka, the upcoming game thriller directed by Deeno Dennis. Mammootty recently wrapped up the shooting of Dominic And The Ladies’ Purse, the Malayalam directorial debut of senior filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon. After wrapping up his current commitments, the legendary actor is planning to join hands with editor-filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan, for an untitled political thriller.
