Mammootty will be playing the role in director Santhosh Vishawanath’s upcoming movie, which is scripted by Bobby-Sanjay duo.The director in an interview said that, “The movie will be a political thriller and have Mammootty playing the role of the chief minister. We are planning to start shooting by the end of this year, after he’s done with his other commitments.” Santhosh, had previously directed the movie Chirakondija Kinavukal. Apart from Mammootty, the team has also roped in Vishnu Unnikrishnan and Sreenivasan. Mammootty_750X500
The director also added that, “He was thrilled when he heard the story, especially because it’s the first time he would be acting as a chief minister in Malayalam. He had played chief minister only once in the Tamil film Makkal Aatchi.” The director says that if Mammootty did not accept the role of the veteran leader, the team would have abandoned the project. masterpiece-759

About Mammootty’s role the director also said that, “We needed someone of his stature to pull it off as the character is a role model in terms of how a chief minister should be in contemporary Kerala. We wouldn’t be showing the politician’s affiliation to a party or a flag as the movie will highlight how a chief minister is beyond all that and is ultimately the leader of the masses.” “The film also talks about the discussion between an ordinary youth played by Vishnu and the State’s CM. So in a way it’s about how anyone can propel change if they put their mind to it. The movie also discusses an issue that politicians fear the most and people support,” says the director. bobby-sanjay..620201511840PM

“Even for Bobby and Sanjay, it’s a different attempt as the movie also uses humour while keeping the seriousness of the issue intact,” added the director.
