Nayanthara Joins Mammootty-Mohanlal’s 'Most Expensive' Film By Mahesh Narayanan

Nayanthara Joins AJFC_MMMN: Renowned actress Nayanthara has officially joined the cast of Mahesh Narayanan's highly anticipated film, which stars Malayalam cinema legends Mammootty and Mohanlal. The film, tentatively titled #AJFC_MMMN (meaning a film by Anto Joseph Film Company, Mammootty, Mohanlal, Mahesh Narayanan), marks a significant return for Nayanthara to Malayalam cinema after a three-year hiatus. Her last Malayalam film was Gold (2022), directed by Alphonse Puthren and starring Prithviraj Sukumaran.

The addition of Nayanthara to the cast has generated immense excitement among cinephiles, as it also marks her reunion with Mammootty after nine years. Their last collaboration was in Puthiya Niyamam (2016), and they have previously worked together in Thaskara Veeran, Rappakal, and Bhaskar the Rascal. Nayanthara has also shared screen space with Mohanlal in films such as Vismayathumbathu, and Natturajavu. Additionally, she made a special appearance in Twenty:20, which featured both Mohanlal and Mammootty.
