Mammootty
and
Johny
Antony,
the
popular
actor-director
duo
is
back
together
with
yet
another
project.
Reportedly,
Mammootty
will
be
playing
an
'achayan'
character
in
the
movie,
which
is
said
to
be
a
mass
entertainer.
The
upcoming
movie
is
penned
by
Nishad
Koya.
The
major
portions
of
the
movie
will
be
majorly
shot
at
the
various
locations
of
Pala
and
Idukki.
The
title,
rest
of
the
cast
and
further
details
regarding
the
project
will
be
revealed
soon.
The
duo
first
teamed
up
for
the
blockbuster
movie
Thuruppugulan,
in
2006.
Mammootty
and
Johny
Antony
last
joined
hands
for
the
movie
Thappana.
The
movie
earned
mixed
responses
from
all
over
and
ended
up
as
an
average
grosser.
It
is
a
hard
time
in
Johny
Antony's
career,
as
he
hasn't
had
a
successful
film
in
last
6
years.
His
last
few
films
including
Bhaiyya
Bhaiyya,
Masters,
Ee
Pattanathil
Bhootham,
etc
were
a
critical
and
commercial
disasters.
The
director
has
received
heavy
criticisms
for
his
movie
choices.
Johny
Antony
tried
for
a
change
in
his
career
track
with
the
Prithviraj
starrer
movie
Masters.
But
the
film
failed
to
do
well
at
the
box
office.
Mammootty,
on
the
other
hand,
is
all
set
to
release
his
upcoming
Kamal
directed
movie
Utopiayile
Rajavu
for
Onam.
Acha
Dhin,
the
recently
released
Mammootty
starrer
movie,
has
failed
to
do
impress
the
audience
and
critics.
