Mammootty stars in Nithish Sahadev's directorial; shoots underway in Tamil Nadu

Mammootty has officially joined the sets of director Nithish Sahadev’s upcoming film, which is currently being shot in Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu. The yet‑to‑be‑titled project marks the “Falimy” director’s first collaboration with the Malayalam superstar and is being produced as a big‑budget mass entertainer.

Sources say that Mammootty will portray a lorry driver from Thiruvananthapuram, promising a blend of action and humour. The production is expected to spend about 50 days filming in Karaikudi, with a total shooting schedule of 100 days that will also include portions shot in Ernakulam.

The film is backed by Mammootty Kampany, the production house’s ninth venture. The screenplay is a joint effort between Nithish Sahadev and Anuraj O.B., while acclaimed cinematographer Jimshi Khalid has been brought on board to handle the visuals.

Mammootty stepped onto the set after completing work on ‘Om’, his upcoming film with Dhanush.
