Here’s the big news that all Mammootty fans have been waiting for! It was reported earlier this month that Goodwill Entertainments, one of the top production houses in the Malayalam film industry, is all set to bankroll three projects this year, one of which was expected to be with Mammootty. The announcement in this regard came out on Easter, April 21, and it turns out that they will be making not one but three films with the megastar.

One film will be helmed by Ajai Vasudev and is touted to be a mass entertainer. Debutants Bibin Mohan and Aneesh Hameed are scripting this project. Incidentally, Ajai Vasudev had directed by Mammootty in Masterpiece a couple of years ago and the film, produced by CH Muhammed under his banner Royal Cinemas, was a success at the box office. The second film announced will be an action entertainer that will be directed by Pramod Pappan with Dennis Joseph scripting it.

The third and most important one will be based on Kunjali Marakkar, which was shelved after it was announced some months ago. The film was originally planned to be produced by August Cinemas with Santosh Sivan set to direct it. But now Goodwill Entertainment will be bankrolling the project, though the director’s name is yet to be revealed.

Incidentally, Priyadarshan is currently directing a film on Kunjali Marakkar titled Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham with Mohanlal playing the title role. The shooting has almost been wrapped up and the film has gone into post-production mode.

Mammootty is currently busy with Unda. Directed by Khalid Rahman, Unda is jointly produced by Movie Mill’s Krishnan Sethukumar and Gemini Studios. The film has Mammootty in the lead role, with Shine Tom Chacko, Jacob Gregory, Arjun Ashokan and Omkar Das Manikpuri in supporting roles.

With three films of the star announced at one go, his fans are certainly in for a treat. It may be noted here that Mammootty’s last release Madhura Raja, released for Vishu recently, turned out to be a hit as well.
