Mammootty to turn a driver for Renjith

Though none of the movies from Renjith featuring Mammootty has came out after their path breaking film 'Pranchiyettan and the Saint', the fans of the duo can celebrate now. The reason being that the talented director of our times has already announced his next project with the megastar, that will be on sets in another six months.

Yes, Renjith's new movie with the megastar Mammootty will kick start after the completion of the director's get together with Mohanlal for 'Spirit'. The new movie will feature Mammootty as a driver, who works for the wealthy businessman played by Anoop Menon.

While Renjith will start his shoot for 'Spirit' by the final weeks of this month, Mammootty is currently in the sets of Johnny Antony's 'Thappana'.

Mammootty is a Volleyball coach

Last year superstar Mamootty was more than happy to don the role of the ambassador to the Volleyball league, which also had a impressive video teaser shot by Aashiq Abu. Now the latest we hear is that Mammootty has agreed to play the role of a Volley ball coach in the new sports based movie to be directed by V K Praksh.

Much of the cinephiles will remember the success of ''�hak De India'' with Shah Rukh Khan as the hockey coach, which paved the way for the production of more sports based film in India. Every language followed the genre  and even in Tamil we had films like 'Vennilla kabadikulu' and 'Chennai 600028, which all were Box Office hits.
 
Anyway this Malayalam movie by V K P , which is yet to be titled is reported to have a very interesting script lines by Y V Rajesh. Mammooty after reading the one line has immediately agreed for the movie which will be on sets by the month of August.

'King and Commissioner' ready for a big release

Mollywood is gearing up for the biggest release of the year in ' The king and the Commissioner', - a multi-starrer featuring megastar Mammootty and Sureshgopi, once again in the gang of Ranji Panikkar and Shaji Kailas. A different genre of a sequel which unites two  hit characters from two big hits'- Joseph Alex Thevallyparambil I A S of 'The King'' and Bharath Chandran I P S of 'The Commissioner', this reunion has already made it the most expected movie of the year.
                      
The release of the movie coincides with a crucial juncture in the career of its lead stars and the director, who all are ailing without any success for almost an year. While Mammootty is facing the viewers after five flop movies in a row, Sureshgopi's latest movies are in a pathetic stage with not even managing an average opening. The case of the director Shaji Kailas, who had delivered a lot of hits in the late nineties in not much different. His last half a dozen movies didn't made their respective producers happy, with a few like 'Drona' and ' August 15' sinking terribly in the Box Office.
                
As the big film which was in the shoot for almost eight months is finally complete, the producer of the movie Anto Joseph  is making no stones unturned to create a big hit out of the it. The movie already has got adequate prepublicity, as the makers are planning to open it in 200 plus centres in the country of which 150 will be within the state. The reservations in the theatres have started at least six days ago and this time, the makers believe that they may not falter in producing a hit.

Johny Antony to make 'Thaappana' with Mammootty

The title 'Thaappana' has been announced several times before, and it was initially supposed to be a Mohanlal film that would be directed by scenarist Ranjan Pramod. The project never took off. 

Later Akku Akbar had planned to make a movie by the same name, with Mammootty in the lead, but that project never materialised either. 

Now it looks like it would be director Johny Antony who would be directing Mammootty in a film titled 'Thaappaana', and the film would be scripted by Sindhuraj. The film would be produced by Milan Jaleel under the banner of Galaxy films.
