Akku Akbar, who earlier used to direct films as part of the Akbar-Jose duo and who turned independent director with Gauri the Unborn (Hindi) and tasted commercial success in a big way with Veruthe Oru Bharya, is now all set to go on to his next film. And the big news about the film is that it will be none other than Mammootty who would be playing the lead role, that of a mahout.
Though details are not available, it is heard that Reji Nair, who had earlier scripted the Lal Jose-directed Mammootty-starrer Pattaalam, would pen the script for this movie too. Akku Akbar is planning to commence shoot for the movie early next year.
