We
had
just
thought
about
Shaji
Kailas" choice
of
characters
and
here
the
filmmaker
has
already
come
up
with
his
new
character
which
is
to
be
enacted
by
Mammootty
in
the
upcoming
Malayalam
movie
Droner.
If
the
grapevine
goes
right
then
Mammootty
is
to
get
new
avatar
of
a
God
man
in
this
movie.
In
Droner
Mammootty
plays
the
role
of
a
character
along
the
lines
of
Nostradamus
by
name
Pattazhi
Madhavan
Namboodiri
alias
Drona.
He
will
be
seen
wearing
saffron
clothes
akin
to
what
the
Sanyasi
wears
along
with
a
Rudrakshamala
and
Vibhooti
on
his
forehead.
If
that
is
not
enough
then
he
would
also
have
long
black
hair
to
add
more
reality
to
the
image.
The
film
planned
as
a
crime
thriller
with
its
story
and
screenplay
by
A
K
Sajan
has
Bala,
Vijayakumar
and
Irshad
playing
Mammootty"s
supporters.
Kanika,
Navya
Nair
and
Shwetha
Vijay
are
the
three
heroines
in
the
movie.
Others
in
the
cast
include
Manoj
K
Jayan,
Sai
Kumar,
Suraj
Venjaramoodu.
The
shooting
of
the
movie
has
commenced
at
Varikkaseri
Mana,
near
Ottapalam
from
November
2.
