Mammootty,
the
Big
M
of
Mollywood,
is
reportedly
all
set
to
play
the
lead
role
in
Alphonse
Puthren's
next
directorial
venture.
The
Premam
director
and
the
actor
have
not
confirmed
the
reports
yet.
Sources
suggest
that
Mammootty,
who
is
highly
impressed
with
Alphonse
Puthren's
past
ventures,
is
keen
to
work
with
the
young
filmmaker.
The
actor,
who
is
back
on
the
success
track
is
planning
to
team
up
with
the
young
promising
directors.
According
to
the
rumour
mills,
Mammootty
is
currently
not
interested
in
associating
with
big
budget
films,
as
the
risk
is
much
higher.
He
is
planning
to
be
a
part
of
low
budget
light-hearted
films,
which
offer
a
minimum
guarantee.
Mammootty
takes
the
credit
of
introducing
some
super-talented
filmmakers
including
Lal
Jose,
Anwar
Rasheed,
Aashiq
Abu,
Amal
Neerad
etc
into
the
industry.
Unlike
his
contemporaries,
he
has
always
been
willing
to
work
with
the
younger
generation.
The
actor
has
always
mentioned
that
bonding
with
the
younger
generation
keeps
him
young,
lively
and
updated.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
true,
the
fans
will
soon
get
to
see
a
Mammootty-Alphonse
Puthren
movie.
Alphonse
Puthren,
on
the
other
hand,
has
been
going
through
a
tough
time
due
to
the
piracy
issues
of
his
latest
movie
Premam.
The
investigations
regarding
the
issue
is
progressing.
