Mammootty,
the
megastar
is
reportedly
joining
hands
with
the
National
award-winner
Salim
Ahamed,
once
again.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
true,
the
duo
is
teaming
up
for
a
new
project,
titled
Mappila
Khalasi.
According
to
some
unconfirmed
reports,
Mammootty
is
playing
the
central
character
in
the
project
which
depicts
the
story
of
the
Mappila
Khalasis
of
Kozhikode.
However,
the
actor
and
director
are
yet
to
confirm
the
news.
Sources
suggest
that
the
team
is
planning
to
start
the
filming
of
the
movie
after
Mammootty
completes
his
highly
anticipated
project,
Raja
2.
It
is
the
third
collaboration
of
Mammootty
with
Salim
Ahamed.
The
duo
joined
hands
for
the
first
time,
for
the
family
drama
film
Kunjananthante
Kada,
in
which
the
megastar
essayed
the
title
role
Kunjananthan.
The
movie
was
a
critical
success
but
failed
to
do
well
at
the
box
office.
Pathemari,
the
second
association
of
Mammootty
and
Salim
Ahamed,
emerged
as
both
a
critical
and
commercial
success.
The
movie
also
bagged
the
National
Film
Award
of
2015
for
Best
Malayalam
Feature
Film.
Mammootty
recently
wrapped
up
his
upcoming
Ranjith
project,
Puthan
Panam.
The
actor
will
next
join
the
sets
of
the
upcoming
Shyam
Dhar
movie.
His
next
project,
The
Great
Father
will
hit
the
theatres
on
March
30.
