Madhupal,
the
director
confirmed
that
his
Mammootty
starrer
Karnan,
is
very
much
on
board.
Earlier,
it
was
reported
that
the
movie
has
been
postponed,
due
to
Mammootty's
tight
schedule.
The
actor-director
slammed
the
reports,
the
project
will
start
rolling
by
the
beginning
of
2017.
According
to
Madhupal,
that
it
is
not
possible
to
film
such
a
big
project,
without
any
preparations.
The
team
has
already
started
the
pre-production
activities
of
the
movie.
Madhupal
feels
that
there
is
no
other
perfect
choice
that
Mammootty
to
play
the
middle-aged
Karnan
in
the
movie.
The
movie
is
penned
by
actor-director
P
Sreekumar.
It
is
a
dream
project
for
Sreekumar,
who
has
been
working
on
the
screenplay
since
the
past
one
decade.
The
team
is
yet
to
finalise
the
title
of
the
movie.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Mammmotty's
Karnan
portrays
the
last
days
and
death
of
the
legendary
character.
The
movie
will
have
top
notch
actors
of
Indian
cinema
in
major
roles.
Meanwhile,
Madhupal
will
direct
another
project,
which
is
based
on
the
infamous
Sundariyamma
murder
case,
which
happened
in
2012.
Jayasurya
and
Biju
Menon
will
essay
the
lead
roles
in
the
movie.
