Mammootty
is
all
set
to
play
the
celebrated
character
Bilal
John
Kurissinkal
once
again,
in
the
highly
anticipated
project
Bilal.
The
project,
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
much-loved
movie
Big
B,
marks
Mammootty's
third
collaboration
with
filmmaker
Amal
Neerad.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
Bilal
is
now
finally
all
set
to
start
rolling.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
the
Amal
Neerad
directorial
will
go
on
floors
in
December,
this
year,
in
Turkey.
The
Mammootty
starrer
will
be
majorly
shot
at
the
foreign
locations.
The
rest
of
the
portions
of
Bilal
will
be
filmed
in
India,
at
the
various
locations
of
Kochi
and
Calcutta
city.
In
that
case,
the
Mammootty-Amal
Neerad
project
might
hit
the
theatres
by
the
second
half
of
2023.
The
reports
also
suggest
that
Bilal
is
going
to
be
an
out-and-out
action
thriller,
and
is
being
made
on
a
massive
budget.
As
per
the
updates,
the
project
is
jointly
produced
by
director
Amal
Neerad
and
actor-producer
Dulquer
Salmaan,
under
the
banners
Amal
Neerad
Productions
and
Wayfarer
Films.
As
reported
earlier,
it
has
been
rumoured
that
Mammootty
and
Dulquer
Salmaan,
the
father-son
duo
might
finally
share
the
screen
for
the
first
time,
in
Bilal.
The
grapevine
suggests
that
both
Mammootty
and
Dulquer
Salmaan
are
impressed
with
the
final
draft
script
of
the
project,
and
have
said
Yes.
In
a
recent
interview,
director
Amal
Neerad
mentioned
that
the
Big
B
sequel
is
getting
bigger.
However,
the
filmmaker
refrained
from
revealing
anything
about
the
star
cast.
To
the
unversed,
Bilal
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.
Meanwhile,
Mammootty
collaborated
with
the
filmmaker
for
the
action
drama
Bheeshma
Parvam,
which
emerged
as
the
biggest
commercial
success
of
the
megastar's
illustrious
career.
