Mammootty,
the
megastar
will
be
next
seen
in
the
upcoming
mystery
thriller
The
Priest.
The
post-production
works
of
the
highly
anticipated
project,
which
is
directed
by
newcomer
Jofin
T
Chacko,
are
now
nearing
the
final
stage.
Recently,
the
young
filmmaker
revealed
that
music
director
Rahul
Raj
has
begun
the
background
music
scoring
for
the
Mammootty
starrer.
Director
Jofin
T
Chacko
took
to
his
official
social
media
pages
and
shared
a
selfie
with
the
music
director
of
the
project,
that
is
clicked
from
the
recording
studio.
"Rahul
Raj,
the
music
director
is
onboard,
#Priest
background
music
scoring
has
started
",
wrote
the
excited
filmmaker
in
his
post.
Earlier,
music
director
Rahul
Raj
had
revealed
his
excitement
about
The
Priest,
and
has
stated
that
something
very
interesting
is
in
store
for
the
Malayalam
cinema
audiences,
during
one
of
his
chat
sessions
with
the
fans
on
Instagram.
In
the
chat
session,
the
talented
musician
had
also
revealed
that
the
Mammootty
starrer
does
have
a
horror
element.
Even
though
nothing
much
has
been
revealed
about
the
plot
or
central
character,
it
has
been
confirmed
that
Mammootty
is
appearing
in
a
never-seen-before
avathar
in
The
Priest.
Manju
Warrier,
the
lady
superstar
of
Malayalam
cinema
appears
as
the
female
lead,
thus
marking
her
first
onscreen
collaboration
with
the
megastar.
However,
the
duo
does
not
have
a
romantic
track
in
the
film.
Nikhila
Vimal
appears
in
a
pivotal
role
in
the
movie,
which
features
Saniya
Iyappan,
Kaithi
fame
child
artist
Baby
Moni,
Jagadeesh,
Ramesh
Pisharody,
Madhupal,
Dinesh
Panicker,
Sivadas
Kannur,
Naseer
Sankranti,
Tony
Luke,
Ameya
Mathew,
and
so
on
in
the
supporting
roles.
If
things
follow
as
planned,
the
Mammootty
starrer
will
have
a
theatrical
release
in
2021,
once
the
world
comes
back
to
normalcy.
