The
onscreen
collaboration
of
megastar
Mammootty
and
his
son,
popular
actor
Dulquer
Salmaan,
is
one
of
the
most
anticipated
ones
in
the
Malayalam
film
industry.
If
the
rumours
are
to
be
believed,
the
father-son
duo
is
finally
all
set
to
share
the
screen
in
Bilal,
the
upcoming
Amal
Neerad
directorial.
Yes,
you
read
it
right!
The
grapevine
suggests
that
both
Mammootty
and
Dulquer
Salmaan
are
impressed
with
the
final
draft
script
of
Bilal,
and
have
said
Yes
to
the
project.
In
a
recent
interview,
director
Amal
Neerad
mentioned
that
the
Big
B
sequel
is
getting
bigger.
However,
the
filmmaker
remained
tight-lipped
about
the
casting
of
the
film.
The
rumourmills
suggest
that
a
major
announcement
on
the
Bilal
star
cast
will
be
made
very
soon.
If
Dulquer
Salmaan
is
indeed
a
part
of
the
project,
the
Amal
Neerad
directorial
is
definitely
going
to
be
the
most-hyped
upcoming
project
in
the
Malayalam
film
industry.
Some
unconfirmed
reports
suggest
that
National
award-winner
Fahadh
Faasil
is
also
a
part
of
the
Bilal
star
cast.
In
that
case,
the
Mammootty
starrer
might
break
all
pre-existing
box
office
records
of
Malayalam
cinema
with
its
opening
collection.
Bilal
had
originally
started
rolling
in
2020,
and
a
few
portions
of
the
film
were
shot
in
Kochi.
However,
the
shooting
was
later
delayed
due
to
the
lockdown
restrictions.
According
to
director
Amal
Neerad,
he
reworked
the
script
of
the
Big
B
sequel
during
that
period,
and
it
came
out
even
better.
Later,
Mammootty
collaborated
with
the
filmmaker
for
the
recent
blockbuster
Bheeshma
Parvam,
which
emerged
as
the
biggest
commercial
success
of
the
megastar's
illustrious
career.
Mammootty
will
appear
as
the
celebrated
character
Bilal
John
Kurssinkal
once
again
in
Bilal,
which
will
mark
his
third
collaboration
with
director
Amal
Neerad.
Dulquer
Salmaan
is
rumoured
to
be
playing
the
role
of
Abu
in
the
movie.
Fahadh
Faasil,
on
the
other
hand,
is
expected
to
appear
as
the
lead
antagonist.
However,
none
of
these
reports
are
officially
confirmed
yet.
