Malayalam cinema icon Mammootty has officially begun filming for his upcoming project with Falimy director Nithish Sahadev. The veteran actor recently shared a series of pictures from the ongoing shooting schedule in Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu, offering fans a glimpse into the film’s production.
Taking to social media, Mammootty announced that he had joined the sets, sharing behind-the-scenes moments featuring his arrival and interactions with the crew members. While the makers have kept the film’s title and first look under wraps, the latest update confirms that production is progressing steadily.
The film was officially launched last month with a traditional pooja ceremony in Kochi. It is being produced under Mammootty’s own production banner, Mammootty Kampany, which has backed several critically acclaimed and filmmaker-driven projects featuring the actor.
The upcoming film brings together an impressive technical team. Acclaimed cinematographer Jimshi Khalid is handling the visuals, while composer Vishnu Vijay has been roped in to create the film’s music.
Mammootty to Play Powerful Local Gangster
Although details about the storyline remain undisclosed, director Nithish Sahadev had earlier revealed that the film is planned as an action entertainer featuring Mammootty in the role of a powerful local gangster.
One of the most interesting aspects of the character is Mammootty’s preparation for the role. The actor is expected to use the Malayalam dialect from the Marthandam-Nagercoil region, adding authenticity and regional depth to the character.
The film is jointly written by Nithish Sahadev and Anuraj OB. The supporting cast and official title are yet to be announced.
For Nithish Sahadev, the project marks another major milestone in his growing career. The filmmaker gained recognition with his directorial debut Falimy, a family drama starring Basil Joseph that received appreciation for its humour and emotional storytelling.
He also expanded his presence in Tamil cinema with Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil, a political satire featuring Jiiva.
Meanwhile, Mammootty continues to explore diverse roles, balancing commercial entertainers with performance-driven cinema. His upcoming lineup includes several highly anticipated projects, further strengthening his position as one of Indian cinema’s most versatile actors.
With filming now underway in Karaikudi, expectations are high for Mammootty and Nithish Sahadev’s first collaboration. The combination of an action-packed storyline, a strong regional setting and Mammootty’s powerful screen presence has already made the untitled project one of the most awaited films from Malayalam cinema.
