Mammootty's Kathaparayumbol Malayalam cinema :
Mammootty endorsing social issues through his films -
Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 25 After nearly three decades of work in
commercial films, Malayalam superstar Mammootty has now started
endorsing social issues through his films and is even forgoing
remuneration at times.
His recent releases "Karutha Pakshikal", "Palunku" and "Kaiyoppu"
all take up social issues.
"In an effort to promote such films I feel remuneration can take
a back seat. I feel happy when the message goes out through a
film," Mammootty told reporters here late Wednesday.
His "Kaiyoppu", a 97-minute movie by Renjith, received excellent
reviews. He plays a struggling writer suffering from a writer's
block in the film for which he did not take any money. The
versatile actor has now decided to sign up another film "Kathaparayumbol",
and has decided to forgo money for this too.
"Kathaparayumbol" is being produced by veteran film stars
Sreenivasan and Mukesh.
"We went to his home and discussed the project and Mammootty
instantly agreed to work in it. When we tried to discuss his
remuneration, he said, 'Don't worry, I will take money only if
it is going to bring in the audience'," Sreenivasan, who has
written the story, script and dialogues of the movie, said here.
Giving an outline of the film, Sreenivasan, who is playing an
important role in it, said the film, set in the hilly districts,
is about two friends.
"Yes, the film is unique and its one major attraction is the
return of two-time National Award winning actress Shobhana to
Malayalam films," said Sreenivasan.
Mammootty said he was very excited about the film.
"It revolves around my character. The central theme of the film
is the re-unification of two friends - one played by me, and the
other by Sreenivasan. He plays a barber in the movie. It will
also have humour," said Mammootty.
Veteran comedians Jagathy Sreekumar and Innocent will also play
a crucial role in the film. Debutant director Mohan will direct
the film.
Shooting is to begin in April and it is slated for release in
the third quarter of 2007.
