മമ്മുക്കയ്ക്ക് പിന്നാലെ ലാലിന്റെയും തലപോയി ! [Insatall Malayalam Font To Read This Post] [Link To Download Malayalam Font is Available In The Top Right Side 2nd Tab]
മമ്മുക്കയുടെയും ലാലേട്ടന്റെയും തല മാത്രമല്ല അപ്രത്യക്ഷമായിരിക്കുന്നത്. അപൂര്വരാഗം എന്ന സിനിമയുടെ പോസ്റ്ററിലുള്ള സംവിധായകന് സിബി മലയിലിനും തലയില്ല. പാട്ടിന്റെ പാലാഴിയുടെ പോസ്റ്ററില് മീരാ ജാസ്മിനും തലയില്ല. ശനിയാഴ്ച രാത്രിയും ഞായറാഴ്ച രാത്രിയുമാണ് പോസ്റ്ററുകള്ക്കെതിരെ ആക്രമണം നടന്നിരിക്കുന്നത്.
ആരോ മനപൂര്വം പോസ്റ്ററുകള് നശിപ്പിച്ചതായാണ് ഫിലിം ചേമ്പര് കരുതുന്നത്. ചേമ്പറും ഡിസ്ട്രിബ്യൂട്ടേഴ്സ് അസോസിയേഷനും എറണാകുളം സിറ്റി പോലീസ് കമ്മീഷണര്ക്ക് പരാതി നല്കാന് ഒരുങ്ങുകയാണ്. പോസ്റ്ററുകള് നശിപ്പിച്ചവര്ക്കെതിരെ നടപടി വേണം എന്നാവശ്യപ്പെട്ട് 'പ്രാഞ്ചിയേട്ടന് ആന്ഡ് ദി സെയ്ന്റി'ന്റെ വിതരണക്കാരായ പ്ലേ ഹൗസ് റിലീസിന്റെ നേതൃത്വത്തില് ഇതിനകം തന്നെ അസിസ്റ്റന്റ് കമ്മീഷണര്ക്ക് പരാതി നല്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട്.
സംഭവത്തില് മമ്മൂട്ടിയുടെയും മോഹന്ലാലിന്റെയും ഫാന്സ് അസോസിയേഷനുകള് പ്രതിഷേധിച്ചു. മലയാളം ഫിലിം പ്രൊഡ്യൂസേഴ്സ് അസോസിയേഷനും പ്രതിഷേധം അറിയിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. മലയാള സിനിമയില് മമ്മൂട്ടിയും മോഹന്ലാലും ആര്ജിച്ച പ്രശസ്തിയും പെരുമയും പത്ത് പോസ്റ്ററുകള് കീറിയാല് നശിപ്പിക്കാന് കഴിയുന്നതല്ലെന്ന് പോസ്റ്റര് കീറുന്ന സാമൂഹിക വിരുദ്ധര് മനസ്സിലാക്കണമെന്ന് ഫിലിം പ്രൊഡ്യൂസേഴ്സ് അസോസിയേന് പ്രസിഡന്റ് സാബു ചെറിയാന് പറഞ്ഞു.
ക്യാപ്പിറ്റോള് സിനിമയുടെ ബാനറില് രഞ്ജിത് തന്നെയാണ് പ്രാഞ്ചിയേട്ടന് നിര്മിക്കുന്നതും സംവിധാനം ചെയ്യുന്നതും തിരക്കഥ രചിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നതും. എസ് സുരേഷ്ബാബുവിന്റെ തിരക്കഥയില് എം പത്മകുമാറാണ് ശിക്കാര് അണിയിച്ചൊരുക്കുന്നത്. മമ്മൂട്ടി തൃശൂര് സ്ലാംഗില് സംസാരിക്കുന്നതാണ് പ്രാഞ്ചിയേട്ടന്റെ ഹൈലൈറ്റെങ്കില് ഒരു സസ്പെന്സ് ത്രില്ലറാണ് ശിക്കാര്.
കൊച്ചിയില് പ്രാഞ്ചിയേട്ടന് മുഖമില്ല [Insatall Malayalam Font To Read This Post] [Link To Download Malayalam Font is Available In The Top Right Side 2nd Tab]
നഗരത്തിലെ വിവിധ ഇടങ്ങളിലായി പ്രാഞ്ചിയേട്ടന്റെ നാല്പ്പതോളം ഫ്ലെക്സുകളാണ് സ്ഥാപിച്ചിരുന്നത്. ഇതില് ഇരുപത്തിരണ്ടോളം ഫ്ലെക്സുകളില് മമ്മൂട്ടിയുടെ മുഖം വെട്ടിമാറ്റിയ നിലയിലാണ്. റംസാന് റിലീസിന് തയ്യാറെടുക്കുന്ന മറ്റ് ചിത്രങ്ങളുടെ ഫ്ലെക്സുകളും സമീപത്തുണ്ടെങ്കിലും പ്രാഞ്ചിയേട്ടന് നേര്ക്ക് മാത്രമെ ആക്രമണം ഉണ്ടായിട്ടുള്ളു. ശനിയാഴ്ച രാത്രിയാണ് പോസ്റ്ററുകള് കീറിയതെന്ന് സംശയിക്കുന്നു.
പ്രത്യേക ഉദ്ദ്യേശം വെച്ച് തന്നെയാണ് ഈ പ്രവര്ത്തിയെന്നാണ് മമ്മൂട്ടി ഫാന്സ് അസോസിയേഷനും പ്രോഡ്യൂസേഴ്സ് അസോസിയേഷനും ആരോപിക്കുന്നത്. സംഭവത്തില് പ്രൊഡ്യൂസേഴ്സ് അസോസിയേഷന് പൊലീസില് പരാതി നല്കിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. ക്യാപ്പിറ്റോള് സിനിമയുടെ ബാനറില് രഞ്ജിത് തന്നെയാണ് പ്രാഞ്ചിയേട്ടന് നിര്മിക്കുന്നത്.
മുന്പ് ട്വന്റി-ട്വന്റിയില് മമ്മൂട്ടിയ്ക്ക് പ്രധാന്യം നല്കി പോസ്റ്റര് ഇറങ്ങിയതിനെതുടര്ന്ന് മോഹന്ലാല് ഫാന്സ് ചിത്രത്തിന്റെ പോസ്റ്റര് കീറി നശിപ്പിച്ചുവെന്ന് ആരോപണമുയര്ന്നിരുന്നു. പോസ്റ്റര് കീറിയത് ആരായാലും ഓര്ത്തുപോകുന്നത് ശ്രീനിവാസന് പറഞ്ഞ ഒരു ഡയലോഗാണ്; 'മതിലുകള് വൃത്തിയാക്കാന് ഫാന്സുകാര് നല്ലതാണ്'.

INTERVIEW with PRANCHIYETTAN TEAM [Follow the links]
മമ്മൂട്ടി അസ്വസ്ഥനാണ്: പൃഥ്വിരാജ് [Insatall Malayalam Font To Read This Post] [Link To Download Malayalam Font is Available In The Top Right Side 2nd Tab]
"ഇന്നത്തെ മലയാള സിനിമയുടെ അവസ്ഥയിലും തന്നേത്തേടി കരുത്തുള്ള കഥാപാത്രങ്ങള് വരാത്തതിലും മമ്മുക്ക അസ്വസ്ഥനാണ്. പോക്കിരിരാജയുടെ ലൊക്കേഷനില് അറുപത് ദിവസത്തോളം അദ്ദേഹത്തോടൊപ്പം ചെലവഴിക്കാന് കഴിഞ്ഞു. മികച്ച കഥാപാത്രങ്ങള്ക്കായുള്ള അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ കാത്തിരിപ്പിനെ തൃപ്തിപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന വേഷങ്ങള് ഉണ്ടാകുന്നില്ല." - പൃഥ്വിരാജ് പറഞ്ഞു. ജീവിതത്തോടും സിനിമയോടും തനിക്കുള്ള നിലപാടുകള് പൃഥ്വി തുറന്നടിച്ചു പറയുന്ന ഈ അഭിമുഖത്തിന്റെ പ്രസക്തഭാഗങ്ങള്:
"ഞാന് കാര്യങ്ങള് തുറന്നു പറയുന്നതുകൊണ്ട് ആദ്യം എല്ലാവരും എന്നെ നിഷേധിയെന്നും ധിക്കാരിയെന്നും വിളിച്ചു. കുറച്ചുനാള് കഴിഞ്ഞപ്പോള് അവനെ ഉപദേശിച്ചിട്ടു കാര്യമില്ല, അവന് മാറില്ല എന്നൊക്കെ പറഞ്ഞു. ഇപ്പോള് ആളുകള് പറയുന്നത് അവനെ കണ്ടു പഠിക്കണമെന്നാണ്. ഞാനും എന്റെ നിലപാടുകളും മാറിയിട്ടില്ല. എന്റെ ചുറ്റുമുള്ളവരാണ് മാറിയത്."
"ഞാന് തമിഴിനേക്കാള് നന്നായി സംസാരിക്കുന്നത് ഹിന്ദിയാണ്. ബോളിവുഡില് നിന്ന് ധാരാളം ഓഫറുകള് വരുന്നുണ്ട്. സംവിധായകന് സഞ്ജയ് ഗുപ്ത ഉള്പ്പടെയുള്ളവര് പ്രൊജക്ടുകളുമായി സമീപിച്ചിരുന്നു. എന്നാല്, ഹിന്ദിയില് ഒരു സിനിമ ചെയ്യാന് വേണ്ടി ഞാന് ബോളിവുഡിലേക്ക് പോകില്ല. അങ്ങനെ ഒരാഗ്രഹമൊന്നും എനിക്കില്ല. നല്ല സ്ക്രിപ്റ്റില് നല്ല സിനിമ ചെയ്യണമെന്നാണ് ആഗ്രഹം. അതുതിരഞ്ഞ് ഞാന് അങ്ങോട്ടുപോകില്ല, വേണമെങ്കില് ബോളിവുഡ് ഇങ്ങോട്ടു വരട്ടെ."
"കാര്യങ്ങള് തുറന്നടിച്ചു പറയുന്നതുകൊണ്ട് ഉണ്ടാകുന്ന പൊട്ടിത്തെറികളെ ഞാന് ഭയക്കുന്നില്ല. ഞാന് എന്തിനു ഭയപ്പെടണം? അങ്ങനെ ഭയക്കേണ്ട ഒരു കാര്യവുമില്ല. അങ്ങനെ ആരെങ്കിലും പൊട്ടിത്തെറിക്കുന്നത് ഞാന് മൈന്ഡ് ചെയ്യുന്നുമില്ല."
"എനിക്ക് ദൈവവിശ്വാസം ഉണ്ടോയെന്ന് ഞാന് തന്നെ അന്വേഷിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കുകയാണ്. ദൈവം ഉണ്ടോ എന്നറിയില്ല. നമുക്കെല്ലാം അതീതമായി ഒരു ശക്തിയുണ്ട് എന്നറിയാം. അതിനു മുന്നിലാണ് എല്ലാവരും കീഴടങ്ങേണ്ടതും. ഞാന് അമ്പലത്തിലും പള്ളികളിലും പോകുന്നയാളാണ്. എനിക്കു തോന്നുന്നത്, ആളുകള് ഏറ്റവും നല്ലവരാകുന്നത് ആരാധനാലയങ്ങളില് എത്തുമ്പോഴാണ് എന്നാണ്. എല്ലാവരും നല്ല കാര്യങ്ങള് ചിന്തിക്കുകയും പ്രാര്ത്ഥിക്കുകയും കാണിക്കയിടുകയും ഏത്തമിടുകയുമൊക്കെ ചെയ്യുന്നു. അതുകൊണ്ട് ഒരു നല്ല എനര്ജി ആരാധനാലയങ്ങളില് ഉണ്ടാകും. അതിനാലാണ് ഞാന് അവിടെ പോകാന് ഇഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്നത്."
"ഒരു ശതമാനം പോലും എനിക്കു വിശ്വാസമില്ലാത്ത ഒരു സംഗതിയാണ് മതം. ഒരു സോഷ്യല് സ്ട്രക്ചറുണ്ടാക്കാന് മതം സഹായിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടാകാം. അതിലുപരിയായി മതത്തെ ഞാന് കാര്യമാക്കുന്നില്ല."
"സൌഹൃദത്തിന്റെയും ബന്ധങ്ങളുടെയും പുറത്ത് സിനിമയില് ധാരാളം പേരെ ഞാന് സാമ്പത്തികമായി സഹായിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. പല ചിത്രങ്ങളുടെയും നിര്മ്മാണത്തിന്റെ ഘട്ടങ്ങളില് ഇത്തരം സഹായങ്ങള് ഇപ്പോഴും നല്കാറുണ്ട്. എന്നാല് സൌഹൃദത്തിന്റെ പേരിലോ ആരുടെയെങ്കിലും ബുദ്ധിമുട്ട് മനസിലാക്കിയോ ഞാന് ഒരു സിനിമ കമ്മിറ്റ് ചെയ്യാറില്ല. സിനിമ ചെയ്യുന്നത് പൂര്ണമായ അര്പ്പണത്തോടെ, ഗൌരവത്തോടെ ആയിരിക്കണം. അതൊരിക്കലും ആരെയും സഹായിക്കാന് വേണ്ടിയാകരുത്."
"മാധ്യമങ്ങള് കുറച്ചുകൂടി ഉത്തരവാദിത്തം കാണിക്കണം. സംഭവങ്ങളുടെ സത്യാവസ്ഥ മനസിലാക്കാന് ശ്രമിക്കണം. മറ്റൊരാളെക്കുറിച്ച് എന്തെങ്കിലും എഴുതുമ്പോഴോ പറയുമ്പോഴോ എപ്പോഴും വളരെ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കണം. കേരളത്തെപ്പോലെ മീഡിയയെ ഇത്രമാത്രം ആശ്രയിക്കുന്ന ഒരു സംസ്ഥാനത്ത് തെറ്റായ ഒരു വിവരം പ്രചരിപ്പിക്കാതിരിക്കാനുള്ള ബോധം മാധ്യമപ്രവര്ത്തകര്ക്കുണ്ടായിരിക്കണം."
"മലയാളത്തില് എനിക്ക് ആക്ഷന് സിനിമകളൊക്കെ ചെയ്യുന്ന ഒരാളുടെ ഇമേജാണ്. തമിഴിലാകട്ടെ ഞാന് കോമഡി സിനിമകള് മാത്രം ചെയ്യുന്നയാളും. രണ്ടു സ്റ്റേറ്റുകളില് എനിക്ക് രണ്ട് ഇമേജാണുള്ളത് എന്നതില് ഞാന് അഭിമാനിക്കുന്നു."
"വിദേശരാജ്യങ്ങളിലൊക്കെ ഏറെക്കാലം ചെലവഴിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. അവിടങ്ങളിലെ പെണ്കുട്ടികളെയൊന്നും പ്രണയിച്ചിട്ടില്ല. ഒരു മലയാളിയെ അല്ലാതെ മറ്റൊരു ദേശക്കാരിയെ പ്രണയിക്കുന്നതിനെ കുറിച്ച് ആലോചിക്കാന് പോലും വയ്യ." - പൃഥ്വി വ്യക്തമാക്കി.
Salim Kumar caught breaking the queue before Beverages store
Salim Kumar, the popular comedian was caught the other day trying to break the queue in front of a beverages shop near Fort Kochi.
The people who were standing in the queue were surprised that the actor was trying to break the queue and some even started questioning his behavior.
It was then that they were told that Salim's antics were part of the shooting of Martin Prakkat's new film 'Best Actor'. Martin apparently wanted to capture the shot as naturally as possible, and hence Salim was sent over to do the act.
People who realised that they were on camera turned very enthusiastic and some even approached Salim for making small talk.
'Best Actor' has Mammootty in the title role. Bangalore actress Sonu is the heroine.
I am thrilled of acting with Mammootty sir: Sonu
Sonu says she considers it a great honour as a beginner to make her debut in Malayalam opposite such a great actor. She also admits that she is a bit tense at acting with such a huge acting legend.
Sonu has seen four Malayalam films - Mammootty's 'Kazhcha', Mohanlal's 'Madambi', Prithvi's 'Robinhood' and Dileep's 'Passenger'.
Sonu says she likes Kavya Madhavan a lot among the Malayali heroines, and also that her stint in Malluwood would contribute to her development as an actress.
Sonu's dad was Kamalhassan's personal makeup man. She debuted in Kannada with the film 'Inthi Ninna Preethiya'. She has also completed another film titled 'Police Quarters' in Tamil.
Mammootty is brand ambassador for Pearls Infra
Actor Mammootty will be the brand ambassador for Pearls Infrastructure Projects Limited in Kerala. The well-known Australian cricketer Brett Lee would be pan-India brand ambassador for the company, its representative Pratik Kumar told reporters on Friday.
Pearls, which has presence in 15 states, plans to set up two state-of-the-art residential complexes in Kochi – Pearls Riviera and Pearls Garden View. Pearls is also involved in developing large agro-based and township projects in Kerela.
Pearls Riviera spread over 9.65 acres surrounded by lush greenery close to the banks of a river. Pearls Riviera will have more than 1,300 flats with facilities like swimming pool, clubhouse and landscaped gardens.
The Pearls Garden View is 11-storey twin tower spread across two acres of land having 142 flats. This will have two landscaped gardens on every floor. The complex, located on Chilavannoor road also has 100-ft swimming pool, sports complex, landscaped greens, jogging and paved tracks.
I don't compromise on my religious belief: Mammootty
"Acting is my job and at the same time I don't compromise on my religious belief, hence I do my job and carry forward my duty as a Muslim too. Over the years this has become a practice for me and I am quite fine doing both," Mammootty told IANS.
Currently he is shooting here for the film Best Actor.
Directed by fashion photographer-turned-director Martin Prakkat, the film will see the superstar as a school teacher whose ultimate ambition is to act in movies.
Salim Kumar, Lal, Nedumudi Venu and Suraj Venjaranmoodu are also in the cast.
Mammootty's own firm Play House is distributing the movie, scheduled for an October release.
"Shooting is getting over and from here I move on to finish the bi-lingual Malayalam-Kannada film Shikari for which one round of shooting is over. The second and final round will be shot in Shimoga," said Mammootty who plays a double role in the film.
But the two characters never meet in the film.
with Onam overlapping with Ramadan, the release of Mammootty's Pranchiyettan and The Saint had been delayed. Directed by Renjith, the film will be released next week coinciding with the end of the fasting month and also his 57th birthday which falls on Sep 7.
Mammootty's last film Pokkiriraja has been a huge success and he hopes for the same success story from Pranchiyettan and The Saint.

Megastar launches Megastar launches "BIG NEWS"
Actor Subair passes away!
Malayalam cinema has lost Subair, a leading character actor, who has done umpteen 'villain roles'.

Kalakaumadi Group has been in the publishing industry for around 30 years and they have got a number of publications on various genres. The literary publication of the group, 'Kalakaumadi', braved many hardships during the period of Emergency and it is now regarded as one of the best literary magazines in the state.

Without naming the actor, Thilakan referred to Ganesh Kumar as the 'former minister' and said that he himself plans to compete against Ganesh in the next elections.
He said that he wouldn't let Ganesh enter the Parliament again, since Ganesh had pooh poohed his Communist legacy.

Comparing the actor to Indira Gandhi, Thilakan said that Sreeni's reaction against the superstars now is like Indira having declared the emergency when her position was shaken.
'People like Sreeni had actually opposed me when I had reacted against the superstars earlier,' Thilakan said.
Now that some of Sreeni's films have flopped, he has realised the truth and has decided to make a reaction against the superstars, Thilakan added.

Updates..
Mammootty in "SHOOT&SIGHT" by OSCAR films Big bdgt Action thriller in Mal & Tamil (in Tamil- "Kandathum Suttum") Dir - J.Balakumaran
Sreenivasan accused of plagiarism again!
Sasidharan Arattuvazhy had told the story to Sreenivasan who had created a script based on it for Mohanlal. Sreenivasan is yet to respond to Sudhakutty's allegation.
Sudhakutty says that she had even enquired about the film while the shoot of 'Oru Naal Varum' was going on, but Sreeni had plainly denied it.
It hasn't been long since another writer based in Kozhikode had come up with the same allegation regarding the story of 'Oru Naal Varum'.
All these allegations turn out to be extremely funny since the film that was a major disappointment has already left almost all the major centres.
Mammootty my elder brother: Mohanlal
Post the death of my elder brother (Pyarilal), Mammookka is the person who corrects me in his place," said Mohanlal while speaking to a daily.
He said Mammootty was his "valiyettan" (big brother). "When he feels that I have done something wrong, he would explode in front of our common friends: 'What is wrong with him? Why did he do that?' If Mammookka opposes something, I would not do it immediately, though I might do that later," explains Mohanlal.
Mammootty, on his part, says that Lal asks his advice on several things, including on his cinemas. Lal usually agrees with him, Mammootty reveals.
If only the warring fans of both the superstars understand this!

I will definitely turn to direction sooner or later: Jagadeesh
Jagadeesh says that since his first film as a director required an exorbitant budget, he had even thought of scripting a film that required smaller funds.
However since he feels the director needs to be with his film entirely for atleast six months with no other distraction, direction will have to wait.
The actor says he is currently busy with several projects, some of which are really promising ones. He is also busy playing the host of the highly popular programme Vodafone Comedy Stars on Asianet.
Jagadeesh also affirmed that Mammootty is ready to allot him dates whenever he is ready. But as of now, his directorial dreams have been put on hold.

Ramachadra Babu's blog about Mammootty
Mammootty, the Person and Actor:
While going through the website of Mammootty I came across some rare photographs , which prompted me to write this piece. His very first film was DEVALOKAM Directed by M.T.Vasudevan Nair and Produced by Janasakthi films.The film remained incomplete and never saw the light of the day. The shooting location was Palakkad and at that time P. I. Muhammad Kutty was a lawyer working at Manjeri. He was called in by M.T. to do a supporting role in the film . The lead role was done by Sabu, son of Shobana Parameswaran Nair's brother. Kannada actress Jayamala was in the female lead.

Mammootty completes ‘Best Of Luck’
Megastar Mammootty has completed his portions in the new flick 'Best Of Luck'. The super star of Malayalam cinema is appearing in a guest role as a real life Superstar in the movie. The character that Mammootty performs will make an entry at a crucial point in the life of the protagonists, Soorya and Manu played by Kailash and Aasif Ali in the movie.
The very first scene to be shot with Mammootty was a film shooting scene where director Johny Antony, and Scriptwriter Cherian Kalpakavadi also appeared as themselves on screen.
Mammootty has earlier portrayed himself in movies like 'No. 20 Madras Mail, Mazha Peyyunu Maddhhalam Kottunnu' and Prithviraj's 'One Way Ticket'.
'Best Of Luck' directed by M A Nishad features a lot of young stars of Mollywood in the script of the director. The movie is expected to be in theatres by the first of October.
Mammootty is on top of the world
Mammootty had taken time off his busy Malayalam film shoot in Kerala to attend the "most prestigious film awards in the country".
After getting the coveted 57th Idea Filmfare Awards 2009 (South)
in the Best Actor category for his brilliant dual role in Paleri Manikyam the Malayalam megastar said, "I'm on top of the world, I have entered double figures. Yes it's my 10th Filmfare award. It feels fantastic to hold the Black Lady."
The debonair actor, wearing a blue cheque shirt and black pant, was looking as dashing as ever and in fact, was the cynosure of all eyes. "Last year, I got immense satisfaction as an actor doing three very good films — Pazhassi Raja, Paleri Manikam and Loud Speaker. I would take this award as recognition of my work in all the three films," said a smiling
Mammootty.
Mammootty said he is always open to young directors with new ideas and will go the extra mile to do "something different, if the script is exciting." Concluded Mammootty, "As a star and an actor, I have to take a middle path by doing mass commercial films but at the same time, do films that I feel are different and interesting.
I would love to get more black ladies to adorn my showcase at home." The big question being asked is whether Mammootty will beat the record set by Kamal Haasan in the number of Filmfare awards.

Fourth sequel for Mammootty film
In a chat to IANS, Madhu said scripting work is going on and the film would be released next year.
'To the best of my knowledge this is certainly unique, with not a single film going into four sequels. And mind you, each of the earlier released films were superhits,' said Madhu.
The first sequel was 'Jagratha' in 1989 , 'Sethurama Iyer CBI' in 2004 and 'Nerariyan CBI' in 2005.
'Another uniqueness of this film is that the director, scriptwriter (S.N. Swamy), music (Shyam) and leader actor Mammootty have been the same in all the four films and will continue in the fifth one as well,' pointed out Madhu.
Each of the films saw Mammootty playing the role of a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officer who along with his team solves a crime when the local police fails.
'This time also the plot is the same but the name of the film is not ready. By all means viewers will certainly not be let down and can expect another thriller,' said Madhu who made his directorial debut in 1986 and so far has done 28 films.

Protest planned against Kerala censor board official
Film stars, producers, distributors, directors and exhibitors are likely to take part in the protest, they said.
Addressing reporters here Wednesday, convenor of the chamber G. Suresh Kumar said regional censor officer Madhu Kumar was behaving in an irresponsible manner.
'He is coming out with rules which no producer in the past had to face and, as a result, lot of inconvenience is being caused,' he said.
'We want him to be shifted and save the industry here from more problems,' said Suresh Kumar.
Citing an example, the chamber official said 'Vande Matheram' -- a film starring Mammootty -- ran into trouble with the official asking the producer of the film to delete two songs.
'Later, the songs were included after the producer of the film went in for appeal. To protest this, tomorrow (Thursday) we are staging a sit-in in front of his office,' he said.
Speaking to IANS, Madhu Kumar dismissed the allegations levelled against him.
'I go by the rule book only. The rules are quite clear and I can't deviate from that. I have done no wrong and the producers are well within their right to go in for an appeal if they have problems. The rules are clear that they can approach the appellate authority for an appeal,' said Madhu Kumar.
