Gautham Menon joins the cast of Mammootty's next?

Mammootty, who recently wrapped up the shoot of Roby Varghese Raj's Kannur Squad, will start working on debutant Deen Dennis' film next. Produced by Theatre of Dreams, this yet-to-be-titled film is set to go on floors later this month. The makers are currently working on its pre-production, which includes finalising the cast.

As per latest reports, ace filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon has been signed to play a pivotal role in the film. Though he has acted in a few Malayalam films before, this will be his first outing with Mammootty. He was last seen in Malayalam in a cameo role in Lovefully Yours Vedha.

The upcoming Deen Dennis film, which is reportedly a thriller, will also have Shine Tom Chacko in a key role. Nimish Ravi, who cranked the camera for Mammootty's Rorschach, has been retained. More details regarding the project are awaited.
