Mammootty,
the
megastar
will
be
next
seen
in
the
highly
anticipated
upcoming
mystery
thriller,
The
Priest.
The
leading
man
recently
took
to
his
social
media
pages
and
officially
confirmed
the
release
date
of
The
Priest,
to
the
much
excitement
of
his
fans
and
cine-goers.
The
Mammootty
starrer
has
been
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
March
4,
2021.
The
release
date
of
the
much-awaited
project,
which
is
directed
by
newcomer
Jofin
T
Chacko
revealed
along
with
a
brand
new
poster.
In
the
new
poster
of
The
Priest,
the
leading
man
Mammootty
is
seen
with
the
other
prominent
faces
of
the
movie,
including
the
leading
lady
Manju
Warrier.
As
reported
earlier,
Mammootty
is
all
set
to
play
the
first
priest
character
of
his
4-decades-long
acting
career
in
The
Priest.
Even
though
nothing
much
has
been
revealed
about
the
megastar's
character
in
the
mystery
thriller,
the
teaser
and
posters
suggest
that
he
is
playing
a
priest
who
possesses
some
extraordinary
powers.
The
Priest
marks
the
first
onscreen
collaboration
of
Mammootty
and
Manju
Warrier.
However,
the
reports
suggest
that
Manju
is
not
appearing
as
the
female
lead
opposite
the
megastar
in
the
movie,
and
their
characters
don't
have
a
romantic
track
in
the
film.
Instead,
the
lady
superstar
is
playing
a
pivotal
character
in
the
Jofin
T
Chacko
directorial.
The
Priest
will
also
feature
Nikhila
Vimal,
Saniya
Iyappan,
Baby
Monica
in
the
pivotal
roles.
The
rest
of
the
star
cast
includes
several
renowned

Ramesh
Pisharody,
Madhupal,
Dinesh
Panicker,

Kannur,
Naseer
Sankranthi,
Tony
Luke,

fame
Ameya
Mathew,
and
so
on.
The
Mammootty
starrer
is
jointly
produced
by
