Maya Bazaar starts shooting next week

Superstar Mammootty, who is on a roll after a string of super hit movies like Rajamanikkam, Thuruppu Gulan, Mayavi, Nasraani, Katha Parayumpol and Annan Thampi, revealed that his next venture Maya Bazaar, to be directed by debutant Thomas Sebastian, will begin shooting next week at Pollachi, Tamil Nadu. The story is really refreshing, entertaining and also one that will make the audience think, he said.

Without giving out many details, he said that the film tells the tale of people buying old vehicles and breaking them into scrap. Maya Bazaar has two heroines, one is a new face and the other is from Bollywood.

Mammootty's other most-talked-about project is Pazhassi Raja, a historical film about Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, a king in the 18th century from the Kottayam royal family. The film is being directed by Hariharan and Mammootty plays the title role. The actor is also working in Kutti Shranku by Shaji N. Karun.
