Following the delayed release of Mammootty’s historical film Mamangam, another upcoming film of the star, Shylock, too has been postponed. Shylock will now make it to the silver screen only next year on January 23. The film was supposed to release on December 20 but the filmmakers decided against it as both the films will be at the box office around the same time affecting each other’s prospects at the ticket counter.

Mamangam was scheduled to release on November 21 but the release had to be postponed due to the delay in post production. The new release date announced for this historical is December 12.

Mamangam is a historical directed by M Padmakumar. With Ganesh Rajavelu aka Jim Ganesh wielding the camera, M Jayachandran scoring the music, Sreekar Prasad in charge of the editing, and Kaecha Khamphakdee choreographing the stunts, it has a strong technical team. The film is being bankrolled by Venu Kunnampilly under the banner Kavya Films.

It is a historical that revolves around the life of the warriors known as Chaaverukal, who plotted against the Zamorin rulers to overthrow them. The film is based on the Maamaankam festival celebrated during the 17th century, in which warriors from different parts of the country would arrive on the banks of the Bharatapuzha to fight against each other to prove their superiority.

Shylock is directed by Ajai Vasudev, who is teaming up with Mammootty for the third time. The film has Meena playing the lead role with veteran Tamil actor Raj Kiran in an important role. It will mark the debut of Raj Kiran in the Malayalam film industry. Shylock is a bilingual that will be released in Tamil and Malayalam. Touted to be a family entertainer, the film is scripted by debutants Bibin Mohan and Aneesh Hameed. Joby George is bankrolling the venture under his banner Goodwill Entertainment. Gopi Sunder has been roped in to compose the tunes for this film, for lyrics penned by Harinarayanan. Renadive will be cranking the camera for this venture.
