Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam,
the
highly
anticipated
project
marks
the
first
onscreen
collaboration
of
megastar
Mammootty
and
acclaimed
filmmaker
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery.
The
makers
revealed
the
much-awaited
Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam
teaser,
on
March
18,
2022,
on
the
occasion
of
International
Sleep
Day.
The
extremely
promising
teaser
hints
that
Mammootty
and
Lijo
Jose
are
teaming
up
for
a
unique
film.
The
1.06
minutes
long
teaser
of
Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam
features
a
village
from
the
Kerala-Tamil
Nadu
border,
where
the
entire
population
falls
asleep
in
the
afternoon
time.
The
central
character,
played
by
Mammootty
is
also
seen
sleeping
in
the
verandah
of
an
old
building.
The
exciting
teaser
has
truly
raised
expectations
over
the
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
directorial.
As
reported
earlier,
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
the
megastar
is
once
again
playing
the
role
of
a
commoner
from
a
small
town
in
the
film.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Mammootty
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.
The
highly
anticipated
project
will
also
mark
the
maiden
venture
of
Mammootty's
newly
launched
home
banner,
Mammootty
Kampany.
The
megastar
is
making
a
comeback
to
film
production
with
Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkan
after
a
long
gap
with
the
movie.
The
project
is
bankrolled
by
Mammootty
Company
and
director
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery's
home
banner
Amen
Movie
Monastery.
Senior
actor
Ashokan
and
Tamil
actress
Ramya
Pandian
appear
in
the
key
roles.
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
mid-2022.
