Puzhu,
the
most-awaited
thriller
that
features
megastar
Mammootty
is
all
set
to
release
on
the
renowned
OTT
platform
Sony
LIV.
The
project,
which
is
helmed
by
newcomer
Ratheena,
reportedly
features
the
veteran
actor
in
a
negative
role.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
leading
Malayalam
media,
Mammootty
finally
opened
up
about
his
character
in
Puzhu.
The
National
award-winning
actor
revealed
that
he
is
playing
a
former
police
officer
in
the
Ratheena
directorial.
Interestingly,
the
actual
name
of
the
character
will
not
be
revealed
in
Puzhu,
and
he
is
only
called
nicknames.
Mammootty
also
added
that
he
is
indeed
playing
a
negative
role,
but
is
entirely
different
from
the
dark
characters
he
has
played
before.
From
the
official
trailer
and
other
promo
videos
of
Puzhu
that
are
released
on
social
media,
it
is
quite
evident
that
Mammootty's
character
in
the
movie
is
a
toxic
father.
The
megastar's
character
is
seen
being
emotionally
and
psychologically
abusive
towards
his
little
son
Kichu,
who
is
visibly
uncomfortable
in
his
presence.
The
veteran
actor's
performance
in
the
trailer
and
promo
videos
hint
that
Puzhu
is
going
to
be
a
perfect
treat
for
the
viewers,
who
adore
Mammootty,
the
actor.
Puzhu
also
marks
the
first
collaboration
of
Mammootty
and
Parvathy
Thiruvothu.
Even
though
the
makers
have
kept
Parvathy's
character
completely
under
the
wraps,
the
promo
videos
suggest
that
she
is
playing
the
role
of
a
teacher
in
the
film.
The
actress,
who
is
all
excited
about
the
Ratheena
directorial,
had
confirmed
that
Mammootty
is
playing
a
daring
character
in
the
film.
The
project
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
Nedumudi
Venu,
Indrans,
Malavika
Menon,
and
so
on
essay
the
supporting
roles.
The
Mammootty
starrer
is
jointly
scripted
by
Unda
writer
Harshad
and
Varathan
fame
writers
duo
Suhas
and
Sharfu.
Puzhu
is
bankrolled
by
Dulquer
Salmaan
and
S
George,
under
the
banners
Wayfarer
Films
and
CynCill
Celluloid.
