Mammootty,
the
megastar
is
all
set
to
join
hands
with
hitmaker
Vysakh
once
again,
for
the
sequel
of
their
blockbuster
movie
Pokkiri
Raja.
The
movie,
which
has
been
titled
as
Raja
2,
is
one
of
the
most
awaited
upcoming
projects
of
Mollywood.
According
to
the
latest
reports,
the
team
is
planning
to
release
Raja
2
as
Mammootty's
Vishu
special
release
in
2018.
The
highly
anticipated
movie
is
expected
to
start
rolling
by
the
end
of
201
after
the
actor
completes
his
current
projects.
Reportedly,
Raja
2
is
not
a
continuation
of
Pokkiri
Raja
but
deals
with
a
totally
different
episode
in
the
life
of
the
titular
character
Raja.
Prithviraj,
who
appeared
as
one
of
the
two
male
leads
in
Pokkiri
Raja,
will
not
be
a
part
of
the
sequel.
Initially,
Raja
2
was
supposed
to
be
produced
by
Tomichan
Mulakupadam
for
Mulakupadam
Films.
But
later,
the
Pulimurugan
fame
producer
backed
out
from
the
project
citing
creative
differences
with
director
Vysakh
as
the
reason.
Reportedly,
director
Vysakh
is
planning
to
produce
the
film
himself,
along
with
Udayakrishna,
the
scriptwriter
of
the
movie.
However,
the
reports
are
yet
to
be
officially
confirmed.
The
team
is
expected
to
announce
rest
of
the
star
cast
and
further
details,
soon.
