Mammootty's The Great Father introduces Haneef Adeni, a new film-maker. Here, we take you through Mammootty's previous 5 movies with debut film-makers and the box office performances of those movies..
Well,
all
eyes
are
on
the
upcoming
biggie
The
Great
Father,
which
is
gearing
up
to
be
one
of
the
biggest
releases
of
the
year.
This
Mammootty
starrer
will
hit
the
theatres
on
March
30,
2016.
Expectations
are
quite
high
on
The
Great
Father
and
why
not,
such
was
the
impact
the
posters
and
teasers
of
the
film
created.
Mammootty
is
expected
to
get
back
to
the
league
of
big
hits
with
this
movie.
The
Great
Father
also
introduces
a
young
talent
in
the
form
of
Haneef
Adeni,
who
has
stepped
to
film-making
with
this
Mammootty
starrer.
Mammootty
is
well-known
for
supporting
young
talents
and
once
again
he
has
supported
the
entry
of
a
newcomer
to
the
industry.
The
actor
has
worked
with
a
good
number
of
debut
film-makers
in
the
recent
past.
Before
the
release
of
The
Great
Father,
we
take
you
through
Mammootty's
previous
five
associations
with
debut
film-makers.
Kasaba
(2016)
Kasaba,
which
was
one
of
the
biggest
releases
of
Mammooty
in
the
year
2016,
marked
the
entry
of
youngster
Nithin
Renji
Panicker
as
a
director.
The
film,
couldn't
completely
meet
the
expectations
bestowed
on
the
movie.
But,
the
film
satisfied
the
fans
of
the
megastar
and
had
a
decent
run
at
the
box
office.
Box
Office
Verdict:
Hit
Rajadhiraja
(2014)
Rajadhiraja,
marked
the
debut
of
young
film-maker
Ajai
Vasudev.
The
film,
scripted
by
Udaykrishna-Siby
K
Thomas,
was
an
out-and-out
entertainer
that
catered
well
to
the
fans.
It
is
a
fact
that
the
movie
didn't
have
anything
new
in
it
but
the
director
was
partially
successful
in
creating
an
entertaining
product.
Box
Office
Verdict:
Hit
Praise
The
Lord
(2014)
Much
was
expected
from
this
film,
which
was
based
on
a
story
written
by
Zacharia.
The
film
marked
the
debut
of
Shibu
Gangadharan,
who
has
worked
as
an
assistant
director
in
a
good
number
of
Malayalam
films.
Contrary
to
the
expectations,
the
film
went
on
to
become
a
huge
disappointment.
Box
Office
Verdict:
Flop
Balyakalasakhi
(2014)
This
was
one
of
the
most
prestigious
projects
of
the
actor
in
the
year
2014.
Balyakalasakhi,
based
on
the
novel
of
the
same
name
written
by
Vaikom
Muhammed
Basheer.
Debut
film-maker
Pramod
Payyanur,
who
has
had
experience
in
theatre
dramas,
helmed
this
project
which
had
Mammootty
in
dual
roles.
Box
Office
Verdict:
Flop
Daivathinte
Swantham
Cleetus
(2013)
G
Marthandan,
who
has
worked
as
an
associate
to
some
of
the
prominent
directors
of
Mollywood,
became
an
independent
film-maker
with
this
Mammootty
starrer,
which
hit
the
theatres
in
2013.
Yet
again,
this
was
a
film
that
followed
the
template
of
usual
commercial
entertainers
and
did
cater
to
certain
sections
of
the
audiences.
Box
Office
Verdict:
Above
Average
Not
all
of
the
above
films
have
been
successes
at
the
box
office,
but
it
is
quite
a
commendable
effort
from
Mammootty
to
support
new
and
upcoming
film-makers.
Now,
we
have
to
wait
and
see
how
The
Great
Father
would
go
on
to
be
for
Haneef
Adeni
and
Mammootty.
We
hope
that
the
film
would
strike
gold
at
the
box
office.
