Mammootty,
the
megastar
of
Malayalam
cinema
is
reportedly
all
set
to
team
up
with
popular
actress
Jyotika
for
his
next.
As
per
the
reports,
the
veteran
actor
is
playing
the
lead
role
in
The
Great
Indian
Kitchen
director
Jeo
Baby’s
upcoming
untitled
project.
Now,
the
sources
suggest
that
Jyotika
might
play
the
female
lead
in
the
film.
In
a
recent
interaction
with
media,
director
Jeo
Baby
revealed
that
the
casting
for
his
Mammootty
starrer
is
progressing.
However,
he
refrained
from
divulging
more
details
about
Jyotika’s
inclusion
in
the
highly
anticipated
film.
But,
the
sources
close
to
the
project
suggest
that
the
talented
actress
is
keen
to
be
a
part
of
the
project,
and
might
sign
the
dotted
line
soon.
In
that
case,
the
upcoming
Mammootty
starrer
might
emerge
as
Jyotika’s
first-ever
direct
Malayalam
film.
Her
two
Malayalam
releases
to
date,
Rakkilipaattu
and
Seetha
Kalyanam
were
multi-linguals
and
primarily
made
in
Tamil.
Even
though
the
celebrated
actress
was
approached
for
several
Malayalam
projects
in
the
past,
she
could
not
take
up
the
offers
due
to
various
reasons.
Expectations
are
riding
high
on
the
Mammootty-Jeo
Baby
project,
as
it
marks
the
first-ever
collaboration
of
the
actor-director
duo.
The
filmmaker’s
last
outing
The
Great
Indian
Kitchen
was
widely
loved
by
audiences
across
the
globe
and
has
been
considered
one
of
the
most
powerful
films
produced
by
the
Malayalam
film
industry
ever.
The
director’s
next
outing
is
also
said
to
be
based
on
a
highly
relevant
theme.
Mammootty
is
producing
the
film
himself,
under
his
new
banner
Mammootty
Kampany.
Coming
to
Mammootty’s
acting
career,
the
megastar
is
totally
busy
with
a
handful
of
promising
projects
in
his
kitty.
He
will
be
next
seen
in
Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam,
the
upcoming
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery
director.
The
veteran
actor
recently
wrapped
up
the
psychological
drama
Rorschah,
which
is
helmed
by
Nissam
Basheer.
Mammootty
is
currently
busy
shooting
for
B
Unnikrishnan’s
untitled
cop
thriller.
