Bilal: Goodwill Entertainments To Back The Mammootty-Amal Neerad Project?

Bilal, the upcoming action thriller which is a sequel to 2007-movie Big B, is undoubtedly one of the most-awaited upcoming projects of Malayalam cinema currently. The project will mark Mammootty, the megastar's second collaboration with the renowned cinematographer-director Amal Neerad. Reportedly, popular production banner Goodwill Entertainments is backing Mammoott-Amal Neerad duo's Bilal.

Even though the makers have not made it official yet, the latest posts in the official social media pages hint that Goodwill Entertainments is bankrolling the project. If it happens, Bilal will mark the production banner's fourth collaboration with Mammootty, after the huge successes of 2016-released Kasaba, 2018-movie Abrahaminte Santhathikal, and recent blockbuster Shylock.

Also, the Big B sequel will mark director-cinematographer Amal Neerad's first association with Goodwill Entertainments, which has already emerged as one of the leading production banners of the Malayalam film industry. If the reports are to be believed, the makers are planning to make an official announcement about the same, this weekend.

According to the latest updates, director Amal Neerad and his team are planning to kickstart the shooting of Bilal in a week. The movie will be widely shot at the various locations of Kochi and Kolkata. The team is said to be planning to take a break after finishing the Kochi schedule. After a short break, the second schedule of Bilal will begin in Kolkata, where the most crucial portion of the project will be shot.

The sources suggest that the main star cast of the movie, including Manoj K Jayan, Lena, Mamta Mohandas, Bala, and so on will reprise their respective roles in Bilal, along with the leading man Mammootty who returns in the role of Bilal John Kurissinkal.
