salam bappu to rope in mammootty for his next film after his successful debut with mohanlal starrer ‘red wine’, malayalam film director salam bappu has set his sights on another superstar mammootty for his next project.
“my next project is a film with mammootty,” bappu, who expressed his happiness over the good response for his maiden film which hit the screens, last month, told reporters here.
‘red wine’, which stars mohanlal in the lead, is an investigation thriller telling the story of a murder in a different pattern, he said.
Speaking at a meet-the-press programme of kozhikode press club here, he said that the feed back he was getting for the film, picturised mostly in kozhikode and wayanad districts, was very encouraging.
The presence of mohanlal contributed to the success of the film, he said, adding that though he had planned to complete it in 45 days, he was able to finish it three days ahead.
Besides mohanlal, the other cast includes fahad fazil, asif ali, meera nandan, meghana raj, anusree, t g ravi and anoop chandran.
mammootty to lead in salam bappu’s comic satiresalam baapu, who had plans of shooting a new film with mammootty, in which the actor would play the role of a priest, has changed his plans. In the wake of several recent films having priests as chief characters (‘romans’ and ‘parudeesa’, for example), the director had opted for a story change. His new film, we hear,
would be a comic satire, and would have a terrific script that has much impressed mammootty.
salam bappus next film will be a satireafter red wine, salam bappu is gearing up for his next project. The film apparently will have mammootty in the lead role.
"the mammootty-starrer would have been my debut project. However, due to some date clashes, i had to postpone it," says salam.
The superstar was to play a christian priest in the film. Since a lot of films have come up, which feature christian priests, both the director and actor have dropped the idea for now. "even the situations and shots might appear repetitive. So i've decided to try out an entirely different subject," says salam and further adds, "my next film will be a satire. I spoke to mammootty recently and he agreed that we should sit and talk about it in detail soon." the director says he is planning to make a film which has mass appeal next time.
