'Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam' teaser: Mammootty recreates Sivaji Ganesan's 'Gauravam' dialog
In the latest teaser released by the makers of Mammootty's upcoming film Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, the megastar is seen delivering a fantastic performance, recreating the iconic dialog from Sivaji Ganesan's yesteryear film Gauravam. The second teaser was dropped on Sunday by the makers. Directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, it is expected that the makers will soon announce the film's release date.
Why does this story matter?
Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam is the first collaboration between Mammootty and Jose Pellissery after years of speculations and reports. All updates about the film are making headlines and taking over the internet. While their collaboration by itself attracted attention, the new teaser has Mammootty delivering a performance in a single shot with no cuts. So, the latest teaser is all the more important.
What does the teaser show?
In the 1:26-minute-long teaser, Mammukka and a few others can be seen in what looks like a bar. An intoxicated Mammootty can be seen recreating an iconic scene with a fierce war of words that happens between two characters, both of which were played by Ganesan in the film Gauravam. Like the first one, the second teaser doesn't reveal anything about the plot.
What did the first teaser show?
The first teaser was nothing but a montage of random shots with people and animals falling asleep or already sound asleep. With quirky background music and nicely placed shots and a lot of people, the teaser hinted that the film would revolve around a small population of people from a village. Clad in "lungi," Mammootty made a brief appearance toward the end.
