Mammootty's The Priest: Sreenath Bhasi Quits The Project!
Mammootty, the megastar is all set to play a priest for the first time in his career, in the upcoming movie The Priest. If the latest reports are to be true, Sreenath Bhasi, the young actor who was supposed to play a pivotal role in The Priest, has quit the project.
According to the sources close to the Mammootty starrer, Sreenath Bhasi has shot a small percent of his scenes in the movie before the lockdown started. But, The Priest is now delayed due to the coronavirus threat. Reportedly, Sreenath will not be able to rejoin the project even after the lockdown ends, as he will be busy with his other commitments. Thus, the actor had to opt-out from the Mammootty starrer.
However, both Sreenath Bhasi and the makers of The Priest have not officially confirmed these reports yet. As per the updates, some popular young actors of the Malayalam film industry are already in talks with the makers to replace Sreenath Bhasi in the Mammootty starrer. An official announcement is expected to be made soon.
As reported earlier, leading man Mammootty has already wrapped up his portions for the highly anticipated movie. According to the sources, the megastar finished the shooting for The Priest before the all India lockdown. The shooting of the leftover portions will go on floors immediately after the lockdown ends. Manju Warrier, the leading lady of the project is yet to finish her portions.
The movie is directed by newcomer Jofin T Chacko, the former directorial assistant of hitmaker Jis Joy. The Mammootty starrer is jointly written by Deepu Pradeep and Shyam Menon. Rahul Raj composes the songs and background score. The Priest is jointly produced by Anto Joseph, filmmaker B Unnikrishnan, and VN Babu, under the banners Anto Joseph Film Company and RD Illuminations.
