Mohanlal
is
getting
ready
to
score
another
big
hit
with
Ali
Bhai,
his
new
film.
Shaji
Kailash
had
initially
launched
Ali
Bhai
with
Mammotty
playing
the
lead
role.
This
was
before
he
started
the
shooting
of
Baba
Kalyani.
This
project
was
postponed
midway
because
its
script
was
not
ready.
Now
that
script
is
ready
and
everybody
is
happy
with
the
way
it
has
turned
out,
shooting
is
going
on
in
a
smooth
pace.
While
all
this
happened,
Mammooty's
became
busier
than
ever
and
was
not
able
to
shoot
for
the
film.
It
seemed
convenient
at
the
time
for
Mohanlal
to
take
the
film
up
so
he
accepted
the
role
that
was
originally
Mammootty's.
Director
Shaji
Kailash
had
constructed
a
huge
set
similar
to
a
market
for
the
shooting
of
the
film.
Mohanlal
plays
the
role
of
Ali
Bhai,
the
trade
union
leader
of
market
employees.
This
time
around,
he
has
two
heroines-
Gopika
and
Navya
Nair.
The
film
marks
Navya
Nairs
return
to
Malayalam
after
a
long
break.
Her
recent
movie
with
Cheran
was
a
Mayakannadi
flop.
Alibhai
is
going
to
hit
the
theatres
during
Onam
this
year.
