The long-awaited moment has finally arrived for cinema enthusiasts! A thrilling first look at ‘Patriot’, the new Malayalam film uniting two titans of Indian cinema, Mammootty and Mohanlal, has officially been unveiled. Directed by the acclaimed Mahesh Narayanan, the title teaser dropped on Tuesday, instantly captivating social media and fueling immense excitement among fans.
This reunion marks their first major collaboration since the 2008 blockbuster ‘Twenty:20’, a significant event given their iconic status. While they’ve had cameo appearances in each other’s projects since then, ‘Patriot’ promises a full-fledged cinematic experience featuring both legends.
‘Patriot’ boasts an impressive, star-studded ensemble cast, elevating its anticipation even further. Alongside Mammootty and Mohanlal, the film features leading talents like Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, and Darshana Rajendran. The cast is further strengthened by veteran actress Revathy, Zarin Shihab, and renowned cinematographer-director Rajiv Menon, hinting at a truly memorable cinematic experience.
While the teaser skillfully keeps the core plot under wraps, the visuals strongly suggest a high-octane, gripping narrative, brimming with compelling political undertones that are sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
The official release date for ‘Patriot’ is still pending, as filming continues. Production faced a temporary halt when Mammootty took a break for medical reasons, but he has since rejoined the team for the Hyderabad schedule, resuming shooting on October 1st.
Backed by producers Anto Joseph and KG Anil Kumar, the film’s screenplay is penned by Mahesh Narayanan himself, who also serves as co-editor alongside Rahul Radhakrishnan. Sushin Shyam is composing the music, while Manush Nandan handles the cinematography. The involvement of four dedicated stunt choreographers strongly indicates that ‘Patriot’ will deliver an electrifying and action-packed cinematic experience.
