Mammootty,
the
megastar
is
joining
hands
with
acclaimed
filmmaker
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
for
the
upcoming
project
Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam.
The
shooting
of
the
project
was
wrapped
up
in
December
2021,
in
a
single
schedule.
Interestingly,
the
sources
close
to
Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam
have
revealed
an
exciting
update
on
Mammootty's
character
in
the
movie.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
National
award-winning
actor
is
playing
the
role
of
a
Nakulan
aka
Velan.
He
is
a
person
who
works
as
a
cycle
mechanic
and
garbage
man
in
the
daytime
and
a
local
thief
at
the
night.
Mammootty
is
said
to
be
appearing
in
a
never-seen-before
avatar
in
Nanpakal
Nerathu
(An
Afternoon
Nap).
In
the
location
stills
of
the
movie
that
were
leaked
online
recently,
Mammootty
was
seen
in
a
unique
get-up
with
a
curly
hairdo,
which
is
teamed
up
with
a
shirt
and
dhoti.
From
the
get-up,
it
is
evident
that
Mammootty
is
once
again
playing
the
role
of
a
commoner
from
a
small
town
in
the
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
directorial.
Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam,
which
is
said
to
be
a
social
drama,
features
Tamil
actress
Ramya
Pandian
as
the
female
lead.
The
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
directorial
also
features
senior
actor
Ashokan
in
a
pivotal
role.
The
movie
thus
marks
Mammootty
and
Ashokan's
reunion
on
the
silver
screen
after
over
2
decades.
More
details
on
the
rest
of
the
star
cast
are
expected
to
be
revealed
soon.
Director
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
himself
has
penned
the
story
for
Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam.
S
Hareesh
has
penned
the
screenplay
and
dialogues.
Renowned
cinematographer
Theni
Eswar
has
handled
the
visualisation.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
Mammootty-starrer
will
get
a
theatrical
release
during
the
first
quarter
of
2022.
