'Mambazhakaalam' progressing in Alappuzha

"Mambazhakaalam", the latest Mohanlal film that has attracted a lot of attention, is fast progressing in and around Alappuzha.

The widespread interest generated is on account of the return of three-time National Award winner Sobhana to the Malayalam film industry after a gap of nearly three years.

The duo have several all-time Malayalam hits to their credit and the last time they appeared together in a film was four years back in I.V. Sasi's "Shradha".

"Mambazhakaalam" is directed by ace director Joshi and produced by Aroma International.

Sobhana for some time has been concentrating more on classical dancing and is running a dance school in Chennai.

Last year she did "Mitr, My Friend", the directorial debut of popular southern Indian actresses Revathi, which fetched her a National Award.

"Mambazhakaalam" was scripted by T.A. Shahid and Girish Puthancheri is penning the lyrics. The music is by M. Jayachandran and the camera is handled by Sajeev Sankar.

The film also has an impressive cast of Cochin Hanifa, Kalabhavan Mani, Harisree Ashokan, Innocent, Shammi Thilakan, Vishu, Baiju, Sudheesh, Kaviyoor Ponnamma and Poornima.

The film is expected to hit the theatres during Christmas.
