Incidentally, Mammootty has also acted in a 1987 film titled 'New Delhi' directed by Joshiy, which was a crucial moment for the actor following a series of flops. The movie, in which Mammootty played an investigative journalist who is jailed on false charges, paved way for the megastar's comeback to movies.

Mahesh Narayanan known for directing hits, including 'Take Off', 'Malik' and the critically-acclaimed film 'Ariyippu,' has begun shooting for his latest film, which will also feature Nayanthara, Kunchacko Boban, and Fahadh Fasil.
