Mammootty in talks to play Kunjali Marikkar?

Historical projects seem to be in vogue in Mollywood these days. After Mohanlal’s Randamoozham and Prithviraj’s

Karnan

, Mammootty seems to be the next in line to play a historical figure –

Kunjali Marikkar

II in a film that will reportedly be directed and scripted by Shankar Ramakrishnan.

Reports suggest that

August Cinemas

, which had earlier produced Prithviraj’s Urumu, will be bankrolling the venture. The makers are expected to make the official announcement on Mammootty’s birthday, according to reports, and more details are scheduled to be released on the 125th day celebration of The

Great Father

, which was also produced by August Cinemas.

Meanwhile, Mammootty is currently busy with Ajai Vasudevan’s upcoming film and also Sharath Sandith’s directorial debut.
