Shooting for the new Mammootty-Vysakh film to begin soon?

Mammootty is on a roll! The Malayalam superstar has been garnering a lot of attention lately because of his experimental characters and choice of movies. At the age of 72, he even earned a state award for his performance in Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam . Mammootty is also known for introducing directors like Vysakh, who later helmed movies like Pulimurugan. The latest news is that Mammootty and Vysakh are collaborating again, with shooting for their upcoming film expected to start later this month or early October.

Written by Midhun Manuel Thomas, who directed Anjaam Pathiraa, the movie is touted to be a mass entertainer. Previously, Mammootty and Vysakh worked together on Madhura Raja, the sequel to Pokkiri Raja, the director’s debut film.

Mammootty essaying a character similar to that in Kottayam Kunjachan?

While more details about the film and its cast are yet to be revealed, it’s reported that Mammootty will be playing a character similar to his iconic role in Kottayam Kunjachan. Midhun had previously planned a sequel to Kottayam Kunjachan, but dropped it due to the lack of a good story. Midhun is currently directing a medical thriller, titled Abraham Ozler, starring Jayaram with Mammootty making a cameo appearance. Additionally, Midhun has written scripts for the Suresh Gopi starrer Garudan and horror-thriller Phoenix, which is still in the production stage.

Mammootty’s upcoming projects

Mammootty is gearing up for the release of its latest investigative drama, Kannur Squad, helmed by Roby Varghese Raj. In the film, he essays the role of a policeman. It will hit the theatres on September 28. The actor will also be joining hands with Amal Neerad for a film, which is said to be the sequel to Bheeshmaparavam. The announcement was supposed to happen on Mammootty’s birthday (September 7), but it didn’t for some reason.

Currently, the actor is shooting Bramayugam, a horror film helmed by Bhoothakaalam maker Rahul Sadasivan. Reports suggest that Mammootty plays a negative character in the film, which was apparent from the first-look poster in which the actor sported a devilish grin.
