Mammootty and Adoor Gopalakrishnan team up after 32 years

Entertainment Nov 30, 2025

Malayalam cinema legends Mammootty and director Adoor Gopalakrishnan are reuniting for a new film, three decades after their last project together.
This time, Mammootty isn't just starring—he's also producing the movie under his own banner, Mammootty Kampany.
For Gopalakrishnan, bringing Mammootty back as the lead just felt right given their history.

Why this collab matters

These two have delivered some of Malayalam cinema's most celebrated films—like Anantaram (1987), Mathilukal (1990), and Vidheyan (1993)—which won them multiple National Awards.
Gopalakrishnan hasn't directed a feature since Pinneyum in 2016, and the announcement has generated significant excitement about what this iconic duo will create next.
