Mammootty
is
all
set
to
kickstart
the
highly
anticipated
fifth
installment
of
the
CBI
Series,
very
soon.
The
megastar
will
once
again
play
the
celebrated
character,
Sethurama
Iyer,
in
the
project,
which
has
been
tentatively
titled
CBI
5.
Recently,
writer
SN
Swamy
dropped
a
major
hint
about
Mammootty's
role
in
the
K
Madhu
directorial.
In
an
interview
given
to
a
leading
Malayalam
media,
SN
Swamy
confirmed
that
Mammootty
is
not
playing
an
aged
version
of
Sethurama
Iyer
in
the
movie.
According
to
the
veteran
writer,
the
fans
of
the
megastar
and
CBI
Series
might
not
like
it
if
the
character
is
portrayed
as
an
aged,
retired
officer
in
the
fifth
installment.
SN
Swamy
feels
that
the
audiences
always
want
to
watch
Sethurama
Iyer
as
the
smart
CBI
officer
that
he
is.
The
makers
of
CBI
5
have
decided
to
not
bring
many
changes
to
Mammootty's
role
in
the
fifth
installment,
as
they
are
very
familiar
with
the
mannerisms
and
style
of
Iyer.
So,
it
has
been
confirmed
that
CBI
5
will
definitely
have
the
original
essence
of
the
series
intact.
In
his
interview,
SN
Swamy
also
confirmed
that
the
original
cast
of
the
CBI
Series
is
very
much
a
part
of
the
fifth
installment.
Along
with
Mammootty,
Mukesh
will
return
as
CBI
officer
Chacko.
Saikumar
will
once
again
play
the
role
of
corrupted
officer
Sathyadas,
the
son
of
DYSP
Devadas.
Jagathi
Sreekumar
is
expected
to
reprise
the
role
of
CBI
officer
Vikram
in
the
movie.
Along
with
the
original
star
cast,
the
much-awaited
Mammootty
starrer
will
also
feature
actor-writer
Renji
Panicker,
Soubin
Shahir,
and
Asha
Sarath
in
the
other
pivotal
roles.
Jakes
Bejoy
has
been
roped
in
to
compose
the
songs
and
original
score.
The
iconic
CBI
theme
music,
which
is
composed
by
the
veteran
musician
Shyam,
will
be
retained
in
the
project.
CBI
5
is
bankrolled
by
Appachan,
under
the
prestigious
banner
Swargachithra.
