Mammootty will play a college lecturer in his next film. The film will be scripted by Udayakrishna who wrote the recent Mohanlal starrer Pulimurugan.
This is the third time that Mammootty will play a college lecturer onscreen. The first two such roles were in Snehamulla Simham and Mazheyethum Munpe.
The new film is a campus-based story and will be an entertainer. Udayakrishna told ToI: “It’s set in a campus and Mammootty will play a college lecturer. The movie will be an entertainer and we hope to use Mammukka’s superstar image to the maximum, in terms of his mannerisms and style.”

Udayakrishna has not yet started working on the script. Taking this into account, it is expected that the filming will begin in mid-2017.
The project will be directed by Ajai Vasudevan. Ajai had previously worked with Mammootty in Rajadhi Raja while Udayakrishna along with Sibi K Thomas had scripted Pokkiri Raja and Thiruppugalan for the actor.
Currently, Mammootty is busy with the filming of The Great Father. Sneha plays the female lead in this film that also has actor Arya as the villain.
