Kochi: The two superstars of Malayalam cinema, Mammooty and Mohanlal will share screen space soon giving their fans a reason to cheer.

It is after a sabbatical that he is writing a script for the superstar. Interestingly, Ranjith and Renji have worked individually for Shaji Kailas' films like Commissioner and Narasimham, respectively, which were blockbuster hits.

It was in Ranjith's Kadal Kadannu Oru Mathukutty that the two superstars were last seen together. However, Mohanlal only had a guest appearance in the film.
