Director
Abhaya
Simha
had
narrated
the
story
of
the
Kannada
movie
Shikari
to
Mammootty
a
year
ago
and
the
Malayalam
superstar,
who
was
eagerly
waiting
for
an
apt
script
to
debut
in
Sandalwood,
had
found
it
interesting
and
agreed
to
act
in
the
movie.
Ever
since
then
both
the
director
and
producer
K
Manju
were
excited
and
eagerly
looking
for
the
day
of
muhurtha
of
the
movie.
Finally,
the
muhurtha
of
the
film
Shikari
was
held
in
Bangalore
on
last
Sunday.
It
was
really
a
grand
gala
event
and
besides
popular
Sandalwood
stars,
Mammootty
was
the
centre
of
the
attraction
in
the
function.
His
presence
had
made
K
Manju
the
happiest
man
on
the
earth.
He
was
on
the
cloud
nine
because
he
had
become
the
first
man
to
introduce
the
Mallu
Superstar
to
Kannada
audience.
Now,
the
excited
producer
is
reportedly
taking
care
of
the
superstar
in
all
ways
and
trying
to
keep
him
at
ease.
He
has
provided
all
class
one
facilities
to
him
to
avoid
the
actor
face
any
trouble
in
Bangalore.
Sources
claim
that
K
Manju
had
bought
a
brand
new
Toyota
FJ
Cruiser
car
worth
Rs.
24
lakhs
and
offered
it
to
Mammootty
to
travel
in
Bangalore.
Director
Abhaya
Simha
is
also
all
excited
to
work
with
Mammooka.
He
is
trying
to
find
everything
100%
perfect
and
he
does
not
want
to
tolerate
even
small
shortcoming
on
the
sets
because
he
feels
that
it
is
an
insult
to
the
Mallu
actor.
Recently,
a
set
was
raised
with
a
whopping
amount
in
Bangalore
to
shoot
the
movie
Shikari.
The
director
found
a
small
mistake
in
the
set.
Irked
by
this,
he
postponed
the
shooting
and
order
to
recreate
the
set
again.
Let
us
hope
that
Mammooka
will
have
nice
time
in
Bangalore.
