The campus setting is said to play an important role in the narrative, hinting at a story rooted in realism and strong emotional undertones—an area where Ranjith excels as a storyteller.
Director Ranjith, known for films that blend socio-political commentary with layered character arcs, has reportedly crafted a script that offers Mammootty a role with significant depth and dramatic weight. While official details about the plot and Mammootty’s character are being kept under wraps, industry insiders suggest that the film will explore contemporary themes, with strong dialogues and nuanced performances forming its backbone.

Sources close to the production indicate that this schedule is crucial, as it sets the tone for the film’s central conflict and character relationships.
This project is particularly special as it reunites Mammootty with Ranjith, a combination that has previously delivered memorable cinema. Their creative synergy has often resulted in films that resonate strongly with audiences while also earning critical acclaim. Expectations are high that this new collaboration will follow the same path.
With filming now underway, anticipation is steadily building for more updates regarding the cast, genre, and release plans. Mammootty joining the sets today has officially kickstarted the journey of what promises to be one of the most talked-about Malayalam films in the coming months.
