The
majority
of
people
will
surely
agree
that
Mammootty
is
one
of
the
most
handsome
actors
in
Indian
cinema.
Despite
his
age
(55),
he
looks
very
young,
smart
and
strikingly
handsome
and
maintains
a
masculine
charm
compared
to
his
competitors
Mohanlal
or
Jayaram
of
the
same
age.
Perhaps
the
reason
is
that
Mammootty
is
very
particular
about
dieting
and
maintaining
his
physique.
Notably,
a
few
years
ago
'Vanitha',
one
of
the
leading
magazines
in
Malayalam,
selected
Mammootty
as
the
actor
with
the
most
sex
appeal.
Interestingly,
'young'
Mammootty's
latest
film
to
be
directed
by
Girish
is
titled
Handsome!
In
this
film,
Mammootty
will
play
a
high
profile
techie
in
the
IT
city
of
Bangalore.
Director
Girish,
a
former
assistant
of
noted
director
Shyamaprasad,
had
narrated
his
script
to
Mammootty
while
he
was
assisting
Shyamaprasad
during
the
shoot
of
Ore
Kadal.
"Only
Mammootty
can
play
the
title
role
in
the
commercial
thriller
Handsome,
which
is
about
the
IT
culture
and
its
pitfalls
in
a
city
like
Bangalore.
He
is
playing
Vysakh,
a
techie," Girish
said.
It
will
be
a
complete
thriller
with
series
of
events.
The
producer
is
Hussain,
who
last
produced
Arabikatha
under
the
banner
of
Micro
Coms.
The
shoot
of
Handsome
will
begin
in
March
in
Bangalore.
Mammootty
is
currently
at
the
sets
of
Pattanathil
Bhootham,
a
comic
thriller
directed
by
Johny
Antony.
Kavya
Madhavan,
who
is
leaving
the
film
industry
after
her
marriage
on
February
5th,
is
the
heroine.
After
this,
Mammootty
will
complete
the
final
portions
of
director
Hariharan's
magnum
opus
historical
Pazhassi
Raja
about
Kerala
Varma
Pazhassi
Raja.
