Director
Shaji
Kailash
is
all
set
to
start
shooting
the
sequel
of
Sibi
Malayil"s
1988
movie
August
1
this
weekend.
The
original
movie
starred
Mammootty,
who
played
the
lead
role
of
a
Crime
Branch
Detective
named
Perumal
(DSP).
This
officer
fought
against
time
to
stop
the
looming
murder
attempt
on
the
Kerala
Chief
Minister.
Mammootty
will
again
don
the
role
of
the
officer
Perumal
in
the
sequel.
The
sequel,
which
has
been
titled
August
15,
will
be
shot
entirely
in
the
capital
city,
Thiruvananthapuram.
Mammootty
will
shoot
an
entire
movie
in
this
city
after
a
long
time.
M
Mani
will
be
producing
the
movie
under
Aroma
movies
banner.
The
script
of
the
sequel
will
be
written
by
S
N
Swamy.
The
original
movie
had
actors
like
Innocent,
Jagadish,
Janardanan,
Lizy,
Mammukoya,
Poojappura
Radhakrishnan,
Jagathi
Sreekumar,
Sreenath,
Sukumaran,
K.P.A.C.
Sunny,
Kollam
Thulasi
and
Urvashi
in
other
important
roles.
Mammootty
was
appreciated
for
his
performance
in
the
original
movie
as
an
investigative
officer,
so
hopefully,
he
receives
the
same
kind
of
response
in
the
sequel
too!
