Thoppil
Joppan,
the
Mammootty
starrer
will
hit
the
theatres
on
October
7.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
popular
online
media,
writer
Nishad
Koya
revealed
some
interesting
details
about
Thoppil
Joppan.
The
writer,
who
assured
that
the
movie
is
a
complete
fun
package,
says
that
Thoppil
Joppan
cannot
be
compared
with
Mammootty's
yesteryear
blockbuster
Kottayam
Kunjachan.
He
says
that
it
is
pointless
to
compare
both
the
films.
According
to
Nishad,
there
is
nothing
similar
between
both
the
films,
except
the
fact
Mammootty's
character
is
an
'achayan'.
The
megastar's
character
in
Thoppan
Joppan
has
no
similarities
with
Kottayam
Kunjachan.
Joppan
is
a
very
interesting
character,
which
has
a
genuine
humour
touch.
It
is
the
humour
element
and
realistic
narrative
style,
which
attracted
Mammootty
the
most.
He
agreed
to
do
the
project
without
a
second
thought.
Interestingly,
Mammootty
is
playing
a
middle-aged
planter
who
hails
from
Thopramkudy,
of
Idukki
district.
He
is
using
the
Idukki
slang
for
his
role,
which
is
a
very
normal
character
with
no
larger-than-life
elements.
The
movie,
which
marks
the
comeback
of
director
Johny
Antony,
stars
Mamtha
Mohandas
and
Andrea
Jeremiah
in
the
female
leads.
Thoppil
Joppan
is
produced
by
Noushad
Alathoor
for
Grande
Productions.
