High
hopes
have
been
pinned
up
on
Puthan
Panam,
the
upcoming
film
from
Mammootty-Ranjith
team,
which
is
one
of
the
big
releases
of
the
year
2017.
Mammootty
plays
a
very
different
role
in
this
film
and
his
character
has
been
named
as
Nithyananda
Shenoy.
Reportedly,
actor
Mammootty
has
completed
his
portions
for
the
film
and
is
all
set
to
be
a
part
of
his
next
acting
ventures.
Mammootty
wil
next
join
the
shoot
of
his
upcoming
film
to
be
directed
by
Syam
Dhar.
The
shoot
of
Puthan
Panam
commenced
last
year
in
the
month
of
November
and
it
did
progress
at
a
fast
pace.
The
movie
was
shot
in
various
locations
like
Kochi,
Kazargod,
Goa
etc.
Apart
from
Mammootty,
the
film
also
features
actors
like
Maamukoya,
Kottayam
Nazir,
Suresh
Krishna,
Ganapathy,
Ineya,
Siddique
etc.,
in
important
roles.
Interestingly,
Mammootty
will
be
seen
in
the
role
of
a
native
of
Kasargod
and
the
actor
has
also
tried
his
hands
on
the
Kasargod
dialect
for
Puthan
Panam.
Some
portions
of
the
film
were
also
shot
in
Goa
and
Mammootty
and
a
set
of
other
actors
were
seen
in
cool
and
funky
costumes.
Nothing
much
has
been
revealed
about
the
story
line
of
the
film.
