DR: MAMMOOTTY

Mammootty begins shooting Parunthu

While his Annan Thampi is breaking all collection records in theatres across Kerala, Mammootty has started work on his next movie Parunthu on May 12 in Kozhikode.

The film, produced by Howly Pottur under the banner of Dream Team Productions is expected to be another hit from Mammootty. M. Padmakumar, who has earlier directed movies like Vaastavam, Vargam and Ammakkilikoodu, is the director; the script and dialogue are by T.A. Razaq.

Jayasurya plays an important role alongside Mammootty who plays a ruthless money lender named Gillette Purushothaman. Jayasurya had earlier acted with Mammootty in Bus Conductor.

Lakshmi Rai, Navneet Kaur and Roma are the female leads. Kalabhavan Mani also has a significant role. The film is scheduled for a July 11 release.

Lakshmi Rai in Pazhassi Raja

Glamorous Tamil actress Lakshmi Rai is going to make an appearance in the much-talked-about film Pazhassi Raja, a mega project in the combination of Hariharan-MT- Mammootty. The film has Padmapriya and Kanika in the female lead roles.

This tall and sizzling Belgaum beauty Lakshmi Rai made her debut in Tamil with Gajendra, a Vijaykanth film. She also acted opposite Parthiban in Kundakka Mandakka. Now she is playing a seductive role in Nenjaithodu.

Recently, she was offered to act opposite Mohanlal for a Malayalam film, but due to some unavoidable circumstances she could not take it up.

Mammootty starts 'Parunthu'

Mammootty after presenting one of his career best hits in ‘Annan Thambi’ will join the sets of his new film 'Parunthu' today. Directed by M. Padmakumar and featuring Jayasuriya, Navaneet Kaur, Roma and Lakshmi Rai, the movie will tell the story of a greedy 'Gillette Purushothaman' who is a hard hearted money lender.

Scripted by T A Razaq, the movie had been in the discussions for quite a while. The team of T A Razaq and M Padmakumar had been with a project with Mammootty for the last couple of years.

Earlier they arrived at a plot in the title ‘Rickshakaran’, which didn't materialize due to its subject showing resemblances to some of the recent movies. There after the writer and director sat for long to pen another that suits the

present day image and charisma of Mammootty. Produced Howly Pottur under the banner of Dream Team Productions, ‘Parunthu’ will be an August release, most probably for this Onam.

Kalabhavan Mani with Mammootty

After a long time Kalabhavan Mani is again appearing in a full stretch role with Mammootty in Nasrani. The film directed by Joshy will have Mani playing Sukumaran, the close pal and driver of David John Kottaram, the character played by Mammootty.

Mani has infact, even avoided a Telugu film to arrange his date to appear with Mammootty. The actor has been earlier seen with Mammootty in films like Raakshasa Raajavu, Daada Saheb and was even presented in Tamil through a Mammootty film, Marumalarchi.

The film is being shot in a fast pace in and around Chalakkudy, Kottayam and Kochi to reach the release centres by Onam.

Padma Kumar opts for Mammootty

Padmakumar, who rendered pulsating action films with Prithviraj in the lead roles, will now direct Mammootty.

Mammootty plays the main role in a film to be directed by Padma Kumar and produced by Howli Potter. The film has script by T A Razaak.

Mammootty plays the role of Theepetti Chandran in the film. Mammootty will also be shooting for Pazhassi Raja which brings together M T Vasudeva Nair and Hariharan.

Mammootty in Annan Thampi

Mammootty’s much-talked-about film with director Anwar Rasheed has been titled Annan Thampi. Mammootty plays the role of two brothers in the film; maybe that’s the reason why Rasheed chose this title. Marikkar Films will produce the movie with a script by Naayarambalam. Rahul Raj helms the music.

Mammootty appeared in dual roles last year in Balaram vs. Taradas by I.V. Sasi. Mammootty, who is currently busy with Renji Panikkar’s Rudram, will begin the shooting of Katha Parayumpol soon. The film is being produced by Mukesh and Sreenivasan under the banner of Lumiere Films.

Mammootty as Mammootty

Malayalam Megastar Mammootty has set a record of acting in at least 10 films on his own identity as a film star’. Film circles say no other actor has acted in so many films as film actor.

He is now preparing to act once again the role of superstar Mammootty in Prithviraj-starrer film, `One Way Ticket’.

His most well known role as superstar is in the hit film, Katha Parayumbol, which is being remade as Kuselan in Tamil. The role of a busy big star who happens to be a boyhood chum of a barber (Srinivasan) remains green in cinema viewers’ memory. But, the most interesting was the scene in No.20 Madras Mail directed by Joshi. In this flick, Mammootty appears as Mammootty, the big star, traveling in a train. He is courted by a drunken stranger, but a fan (Mohanlal). Mohanlal puts up an incredible acting in the role of an innocent but a wonderstruck fan blabbering in a drunker stupor to Mammootty, the megastar. Without betraying his annoyance, Mammootty, braves the drunken fan’s intrusion.

In Balachandra Menon film `Chiriyo Chiri, Lenin Rajendran’s `Prem Nazirine Kanmanilla’, Hariharan’s Prempoojari, K.G.George’s `Lekhayude Maranam oru flashback’ are others. In Azakhiya Ravanan film Mammootty’s a film maker. In Mutharamkuttu PO Mammootty is presented obliquely. His voice is read out in letters. In Vinayan’s Boyfriends Mammootty is presented by dupes. All this apart, in Rasikan film Mammootty and Mohanlal become a cause for two fans’ fights—one backing Lal and the other, Mammooty.

Security cover for Mammootty

Speaking at the DYFI conference, Mammootty said, "If communist organizations like DYFI had been in Gujarat, atrocities in name of religion would not have taken place." This very comment has sparked protest against him from political outfits. For this reason, police security has been given to him.

This statement did not go down well with the BJP and the RSS. The Congress had other problems. If prominent stars like Mammootty take part in conventions like DYFI, it will strengthen the ruling Marxist party and spell doom for the Congress to come to power. So, they framed a case on Mammootty that he had illegally appropriated government lands.

Following dissatisfaction by BJP and RSS, the police said that Mammootty's life is under threat. So, his Ernakulam house is given police protection.

At present, Mammootty is in Kannur for the shooting of Pazhassi Raja. A group of protestors damaged a hotel where the film crew is staying, thinking that Mammootty is put up there. Cars were smashed and filming equipment and vans were destroyed. It is surmised that this could be the work of Hindutva groups who could not tolerate Mammootty's remarks on Gujarat.

Following this incident, Mammootty has been given police protection.

My would-be’s choice! Jr.NTR

Jr.NTR is going to marry Lakshmi Pranathi in coming May. Therefore, his in-laws and would-be Lakshmi Pranathi are in constant touch with him and his elders. Especially, Jr.NTR and Lakshmi Pranathi are said to enjoying their pre-marriage-friendship through their mobiles. He is taking feed back from her about his forthcoming films and the audios. Recently, he told the media people that, his would-be Lakshmi Pranathi very much likes his upcoming film ‘Shakti’ songs. He said especially she likes ‘Prema desam yuvarani’ song in that film. Though, media people try to extract some spicy news out of him, he cleverly skipped them all.

Sneha once again with Mammootty

Sneha will be seen sharing screen space with Malayalam superstar Mammootty in the upcoming bilingual film, Vande Matheram (Aruvadai in Tamil), directed by T. Aravind, produced by Henry under the banner of Pankaj Productions. Thuruppu Gulan, her last Malayalam film with Mammootty, was a big hit.

Reportedly, the actress has been roped in for yet another Mammootty starrer, to be directed by M. Padmakumar and produced by Howly Pottur under the banner of Dream Team Productions.

Sneha once again with Mammootty.

Renji Panikkar to start by August 21

Mammootty will complete the shooting of his latest with Joshy, titled Nasrani by the 20th of this month.

The film which was originally planned for this onam, will now hit the theatres as a Ramzan release.

Even though the release of his new venture is shifted, Mammootty seems to have no time to take a rest.

On the very next day that is on August 21 Mammootty will join the sets of Renji Panikkar’s new film which is tentatively titled as Raudram.

The movie which is conceived as another satire on our new political surroundings will have Mammootty as an action hero who roams around delivering bombastic dialogues.

Mammootty to do a dual role yet again

Mammootty’s double appearance in a film is considered jinx! In his 25 years career span he has been unsuccessful in the films he has come in double role characters. He has done more than 300 odd films but have portrayed in double roles in very few of them. Only ‘Dada Saheb’ and ‘Samrajyam’ were the two big hits with his in dual role.

Mammootty after a long time is attempting a double role avatar. He is appearing in a new film by Anwar Rasheed who is riding on the biggest success of his career ‘Raja Manikayam’. The film is yet to be titled. In the film Mammootty will don the roles of two brothers. The film has script by P Naayarambalam. This Mammootty starrer will be produced by Marikkar Films. Rahul Raj is composing the music. Currently the script and crew of the film is being finalised. The film will go to the sets by the end of November.

Former Miss India Nafisa Ali to play Mammootty’s mom

Malayalam superstar Mammootty is now getting glamour personalities, including acclaimed pop singer Usha Uthup and former model Nafisa Ali, to play his mother.

"In my last film 'Pothen Vava' Usha Uthup played my mother. Now in 'Big B' Nafisa Ali is playing the role," Mammootty said from the sets of "Big B" in Kochi.

Former Miss India Nafisa Ali, 49, is acting in Malayalam films for the first time. She has acted in eight Hindi and other films, beginning with the acclaimed "Junoon". Nafisa, according to Mammootty, is a bit scared because of the language.

"We are giving her enough support and now, believe me, she is doing a fine job," said Mammootty, 53.

Ace cinematographer Amal Neerad, who was behind the camera for Mammootty's earlier film "Black", is directing the film. This is Neerad's first foray into direction.

"The film is all about action and suspense and is a thriller. Nafisa is Mary John, an activist who takes care of children, and I am one of her four adopted children. The film will do well," said a confident Mammootty.

Annan Thampi is Mammootty's next film

Kavya finally to pair with Mammootty

Kavya and her fans were much concerned as she walked out from Mammooty's Nasrani citing it as a usual role. Many in the circuit felt that it was a missed chance to project her opposite bigger heroes.

But Kavya is now making good even over that , as she now has signed another film opposite Mammootty which is to start in a short while.

The new flick Rikshskaaran directed by M Padmakumar, will have her paired as the heroine for the first time opposite Mammootty. Kavya is playing the role of Advocate Indulekha in the film , which is expected to hit the floors by the last weak of November.

After this film she will again appear back to back with Mammootty in the K K Raajeev film

Mammootty Again as 'superstar'

Megastar Mammootty was more than successful portraying the role of Superstar ‘Ashokhraj in the recent hit ‘Katha Parayumpol’. The film made big headlines and the Superstar Rajanikanth and Sha Rukh Khan are readying to don the role in the remake. Probably encouraged, Mammootty is once again playing himself a superstar in the new film ‘One Way Ticket’. It has Prithvi Raj in the lead.

Mammootty will be appearing in a short cameo as Superstar carrying his own name in the film. The film has Prithvi Raj as Kunjappu, a Jeep driver, who is an ardent fan of the star. The film will feature some scenes which will have the Superstar giving support to his fans who are involved in social support activities than the promotion of the stardom
