Perumbavoor of Aashirwad Cinemas, to bring together the characters
played by Mohanlal in Hallo and Mammootty in Mayaavi together in one
film titled Hallo.. Maayavi!
Antony has spoken to Rafi and Mecartin, the directors of Hello and
Rafi's brother Shafi the director of Mayaavi to work on this
concept. Says Shafi: "It sounds exciting as the drunken lawyer
Sivaraman of Hallo meets the crusader and do-gooder Mahi alias Maayavi
in an all new film. Rafi and Mecartin will work on the script and I will
direct it."

Antony's proposal has the green signal of Mammootty and Mohanlal,
who are willing to come together after Fazil's Harikrishna to give
their fans and the audiences an all new experience. The earliest the duo
can come together is in early 2009, and the film can be their Vishu 2009
releases.

If the "dream project" has to become a reality, the cost factor
has to be worked out. The film cannot be a viable project, if it costs
more than Rs 4 to 4.5 crore. Television rights DVD, theatrical outside
Kerala and overseas can fetch Rs 1.75 to Rs 2 crore. Due to the two
stars coming together in one film based on popular characters from their
hit films, will ensure bumper opening in Kerala. It has the potential to
cover its cost from Kerala theatricals alone.

Hallo.. Mayaavi is still in idea stage, a lot depends on how good or bad
2008 turns out for the Malayalam superstars.
A Mammootty-Lal movie on the cards IndiaGlitz [Monday, March 03, 2008] Both the super stars of Malayalam, Mammootty and Mohanlal had two big hits in 'Mayavi' and 'Hello' of 2007. But very few could have thought of blending the characters of both these films -the drunken funny lawyer Shivaraman and the do-gooder Mahi alias Mayavi, for a film.
It was the producer Antony Perumbavoor, of Aashirwad, Mohanlal's home production company, who put forward such an exciting idea about a film where Shivaraman has to meet Mahi. Both the super stars immediately agreed to the bright idea when they heard about the project.
And now super hit script writers Rafi-Mecartin have started with the outlines of the plot which will be directed by Shafi-the only director who had two big super hits in 2007. The film tentatively titled as 'Hello..Mayavi' will be in all possibilities a flick that will hit the screens on April, next year as a Vishu offering.
More details about this dream project are awaited
