Mammootty,
the
megastar
is
all
set
to
play
CBI
officer
Sethurama
Iyer
once
again
in
the
5th
installment
of
the
CBI
Series.
Now,
the
latest
reports
suggest
that
Jagathy
Sreekumar
might
make
a
comeback
to
films
by
playing
the
role
of
officer
Vikram
in
the
fifth
part,
which
has
been
tentatively
titled
as
CBI
5.
During
Jagathy
Sreekumar's
birthday
celebrations,
his
family
members
revealed
that
the
veteran
actor
has
received
several
film
offers,
including
Mammootty's
CBI
5.
Jagathy
might
sign
the
dotted
line
soon,
as
the
makers
had
kept
his
health
condition
in
mind
while
scripting
the
film
and
developing
his
character
Vikram.
If
things
fall
in
place,
Jagathy
Sreekumar
will
make
a
comeback
to
Malayalam
cinema
with
the
Mammootty
starrer.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
CBI
5
will
start
rolling
by
the
second
half
of
2021,
after
the
pandemic
comes
under
control.
The
project,
which
was
supposed
to
start
rolling
in
2020,
has
been
postponed
now
as
it
is
impossible
to
have
outdoor
shoots
with
a
big
crew,
following
the
safety
guidelines.
Coming
to
CBI
5,
the
movie
which
is
directed
by
K
Madhu
and
scripted
by
SN
Swami,
is
expected
to
be
entirely
different
from
the
previous
CBI
films.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
Mammootty
starrer
revolves
around
the
concept
of
'basket
killing',
which
is
new
to
Malayalam
cinema.
Along
with
Mammootty,
the
popular
faces
of
the
original
cast
including
Mukesh
and
Saikumar,
who
played
the
roles
of
Chacko
and
Sathyadas,
are
also
a
part
of
the
fifth
installment.
Renji
Panicker
is
the
new
addition
to
the
cast.
According
to
the
sources
close
to
the
project,
the
Mammootty
starrer
is
bankrolled
by
the
senior
producer
Appachan,
for
his
home
banner
Swargachitra.
In
that
case,
CBI
5
will
mark
Mammootty's
collaboration
with
the
production
house
after
a
long
16
years.
