Since
the
past
few
days,
the
upcoming
project
Kunjali
Marakkar
has
gained
the
attention
of
the
Malayalam
film
audiences
with
the
names
of
both
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal
getting
associated
with
two
different
projects.
Mohanlal's
Kunjali
Marakkar
is
a
big
budget
project
being
planned
by
Priyadarshan
and
he
had
announced
that
this
one
will
be
the
combo's
next
venture
together,
but
no
official
launch
of
the
project
was
made.
Later,
an
official
announcement
regarding
Mammootty's
Kunjali
Marakkar
was
made
by
renowned
production
banner
August
Cinema,
which
in
turn
paved
way
for
discussions
on
who
will
appear
as
Kunjali
Marakkar
first.
Now,
here
is
a
big
news
who
are
waiting
to
see
Mohanlal
in
the
shoes
of
Kunjali
Marakkar.
It
seems
like
the
movie
is
not
shelved
and
here
is
what
director
Priyadarshan
has
to
say
about
the
same.
8
Months’
Time..!
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
Times
Of
India,
Priyadarshan
stated
that
even
3
years
ago,
the
team
of
Mammootty's
Kunjali
Marakkar
had
stated
that
they
would
be
doing
the
film.
Now,
he
will
wait
for
another
8
months
to
see
whether
Mammootty-Santosh
Sivan
team's
Kunjali
Marakkar
will
go
on
floors
or
not,
and
if
theydon't,
then
Priyadarshan
will
go
ahead
with
his
project.
If
Mammootty's
Kunjali
Marakkar
Happens..
Importantly,
Priyadarshan
also
added
that
if
they
go
on
to
make
Kunjali
Marakkar
he
will
drop
the
idea
of
making
his
version
of
Kunjali
Marakkar
as
he
feels
that
such
unwanted
competitions
are
quite
unnecessary.
Cited
An
Example
From
Bollywood
While
talking
about
the
competition
and
films
based
on
the
same
person,Priyadarshan
cited
the
example
of
two
Bollywood
movies
The
Legend
Of
Bhagath
Singh
and
23rd
March
1931:
Shaheed,
both
of
which
narrated
the
tale
of
Bhagath
Singh.
He
added
that
both
the
films
didn't
do
well
at
the
box
office
and
resulted
in
bad
blood
between
both
the
teams.
Which
Kunjali
Marakkar
Will
The
Director
Focus
On..!
Reportedly,
there
were
4
Kunjali
Marakkars
and
Mammootty-Santosh
Sivan
team's
project
will
focus
on
the
fourth
Kunjali
Marakkar.
In
the
interview,
Priyadarshan
stated
that
his
project
is
also
focusing
on
the
fourth
Kunjali
Marakkar
as
that
would
be
the
most
interesting
story
to
tell.
