Bilal,
the
upcoming
Mammootty
starrer
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
blockbuster
movie
Big
B,
is
one
of
the
most-awaited
projects
of
Malayalam
cinema.
The
highly
anticipated
project
marks
Mammootty's
second
collaboration
with
Amal

the
renowned
cinematographer-filmmaker.
In
a
recent
interview,
Mamta
Mohandas,
who
plays
a
pivotal
role
in
Bilal,
made
interesting
revelations
about
the
star
cast.
When
she
was
asked
about
the
actor
who
played
the
much-hyped
character
Abu
John
Kurissinkal,
Mamta
Mohandas
confirmed
that
a
young
star
has
been
roped
in
for
the
role.
However,
she
refrained
from
revealing
the
name
of
the
actor.
But
Mamta
assured
that
a
massive
update
on
the
Mammootty
starrer
will
be
revealed
very
soon.
She
also
confirmed
that
Bilal
will
start
rolling
once
the
get
the
permission
to
shoot
in
Fort
Kochi.
As
reported
earlier,
the
rumour
mills
suggest
that
Dulquer
Salmaan
or
Fahadh
Faasil
might
join
the
star
cast
to
play
the
character
Abu
John
Kurissinkal.
To
the
uninitiated,
Abu
is
the
young
boy
who
meets
Mammootty's
Bilal
John
Kurissinkal
in
the
climax
of
the
first
installment,
Big
B.
In
the
climax,
it
was
hinted
that
Bilal
intends
to
adopt
Abu,
who
is
an
orphan.
Later,
some
reports
had
suggested
that
Sreenath
Bhasi,
the
young
talented
actor
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
role
of
Abu
John
Kurissinkal
in
Bilal.
However,
with
Mamta
Mohandas's
revelation,
the
rumours
that
suggested
Dulquer
Salmaan
and
Fahadh
Faasil's
association
with
the
Mammotty
starrer

started
doing
rounds
once
again.
Along

Mamta
Mohandas,

and
so
on,

in
Big

reprise
their
respective
roles
in
the
sequel.
It
has
also
been
confirmed
that
Sreenath
Bhasi
and
actor-director
Lal
Jr
aka
Jean
Paul
Lal
are
the
new
additions
to
the
