Mammootty,
the
megastar
has
been
rumoured
to
be
joining
hands
with
the
actor-filmmaker
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
for
his
next
directorial
venture.
The
speculations
started
doing
rounds
after
writer
Murali
revealed
that
he
had
a
quality
3-hour-long
conversation
with
Mammootty.
Now,
the
rumour
mills
suggest
that
the
megastar
is
planning
to
kickstart
the
project,
very
soon.
Earlier,
it
was
reported
that
Mammootty
might
appear
in
a
pivotal
role
in
the
sequel
of
Prithviraj
Sukumaran's
directorial
debut
Lucifer,
which
has
been
titled
as
Empuraan.
The
reports
left
the
cine-goers
excited,
as
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal
might
share
the
screen
in
Empuraan
in
that
case.
However,
the
latest
updates
suggest
that
the
One
actor
is
joining
hands
with
Prithviraj-Murali
duo
for
a
different
project.
The
speculations
regarding
Mammootty's
collaboration
with
Prithviraj
Sukumaran-Murali
Gopy
duo
started
doing
rounds
after
the
young
filmmaker
and
writer
dropped
a
major
hint
on
the
megastar's
birthday.
Prithviraj's
visits
to
Mammootty's
residence
also
fueled
up
the
rumours.
However,
both
the
director
and
writer
are
still
remaining
tight-lipped
about
what
is
in
store
for
the
fans
of
Mammootty.
In
an
interactive
session
with
his
fans
which
was
held
in
late
2019,
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
had
hinted
that
he
has
a
subject
for
Mammootty
in
his
mind.
However,
the
actor-director
revealed
that
he
will
approach
the
megastar
only
after
he
completely
develops
the
story
into
a
solid
plot.
It
was
revealed
that
Murali
Gopy
is
planning
to
begin
the
scripting
of
the
Prithviraj-Mammootty
starrer,
once
he
finishes
the
script
of
Empuraan.
As
the
script
of
Empuraan
is
locked
now,
we
are
hoping
that
the
actor-director
duo
will
soon
make
an
official
announcement
on
their
association
with
Mammootty,
very
soon.
