Mammootty plays Perumal in August 15

Mammootty is playing an investigative cop Perumal in Shaji Kailas directed August 15, a sort of sequel to Mammootty's super hit August 1 (1988).

The producer of both the films is Aroma Mani and his Sunitha Productions.

Recently a scene for August 15 was shot at the Kerala State Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram.

Perumal (Mammootty) riding a Bullet motorcycle comes to the state secretariat to meet the Chief Minister's PA, as the CM's life is under threat.

Mammootty is doing August 15, as he wanted to help Aroma Mani and Shaji Kailas whose last film featuring him Drona, was a flop.

Which superstar in Indian cinema will help his producer and director after they have given him a flop?

Mammootty has given top priority to August 15, which will be the star's next release for Christmas.
