The
much-awaited
Puzhu
teaser
was
finally
released
on
the
special
occasion
of
New
Year
2022.
The
highly
promising
Puzhu
teaser
has
raised
expectations
over
the
project,
with
Mammootty's
mysterious
character
sketch.
From
the
teaser,
it
is
evident
that
the
movie,
which
is
directed
by
newcomer
Ratheena,
is
going
to
be
a
thriller.
In
the
39-seconds-long
Puzhu
teaser,
Mammootty's
character
is
seen
having
a
serious
conversation
with
a
young
boy
named
Kichu.
"When
we
share
the
things
we
have
with
others,
it
is
good.
That's
how
we
become
good
human
beings.
But
there
is
no
need
to
accept
things
that
they
give
us
in
return.
Kichu
doesn't
need
it,
isn't
it?" the
character
played
by
the
megastar
asks
the
boy.
Later,
the
boy
is
seen
shooting
at
a
family
photo
in
the
head
of
Mammootty's
character,
with
a
toy
gun.
Even
though
Mammootty
is
seen
having
a
calm
attitude,
there
is
something
menacing
in
his
eyes
and
voice
modulation,
that
can
make
a
viewer
instantly
uncomfortable.
The
Puzhu
teaser
hints
that
the
legendary
actor
is
indeed
playing
a
negative
role,
that
is
completely
new
to
the
Malayalam
cinema,
in
the
Ratheena
directorial.
It
is
also
evident
that
Puzhu
has
a
stellar
performance
by
Mammootty
in
store,
for
its
audiences.
As
reported
earlier,
Puzhu
marks
the
first
onscreen
collaboration
of
Mammootty
and
the
talented
actress
Parvathy
Thiruvothu.
The
Ratheena
directorial,
which
reportedly
deals
with
a
socially-relevant
subject,
is
distributed
by
Dulquer
Salmaan
under
his
home
banner
Wayfarer
Films.
Thus,
the
movie
will
mark
Mammootty's
first
professional
collaboration
with
his
son
Dulquer.
The
Mammootty
starrer
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
Nedumudi
Venu,
Indrans,
Malavika
Menon,
and
so
on
essay
the
supporting
roles.
Puzhu
is
jointly
scripted
by
Unda
writer
Harshad
and
Varathan
fame
writers
duo
Suhas
and
Sharfu.
Theni
Eswar
is
the
DOP.
Manu
Jagadh
is
the
art
director.
Vishnu
Govind
and
Sreeshankar
handle
the
sound
design.
Sameera
Saneesh
heads
the
costumes
department.
Puzhu
is
bankrolled
by
