Mammootty to star in Malayalam film "Bazooka" from Yoodlee Films

Mumbai: Mammootty, a veteran Malayalam actor, will star in Deeno Dennis' debut feature-length action film "Bazooka" for Yoodlee Films.

Gautham Menon and Gayathri Iyer are additional cast members in the action movie.

Mammootty stated that he always appreciates working with young professionals and is pleased to be working on Deeno's debut movie. He is the son of experienced screenwriter Kaloor Dennis.

“I am really happy to be working with Deeno on this very exciting story. It is always invigorating to work with young professionals who see cinema and the world with fresh eyes, are willing to take risks and want to tell stories that have never been told before. I am sure that this film will be a milestone for all of us and will thrill the audience as well,” the cinema icon said in a statement.

Yoodlee Films is the film studio of Saregama India Ltd.

Siddharth Anand, Senior Vice President of Films & Events at Saregama India Ltd, said “Bazooka” is a special project as it would present Mammooty in a never-seen-before avatar.

“It will take his fans by absolute surprise. Since the time we first started out in 2015, our goal has been to break new ground in the way stories are told and in this journey, synergizing with regional makers and in particular, with the Malayalam film industry has been an extremely rewarding experience,” Anand added.

Deeno Dennis said to have Mammootty headline his first film is a “dream come true and working with him is an experience of a lifetime.” The film is also co-produced by Jinu V Abhraham and Dolvin Kuriakose.
