Megastar Mammootty seems to have landed yet another opportunity to showcase his acting chops in Telugu cinema! According to reports, the superstar has signed to play the antagonist in the upcoming Telugu movie ‘Agent’. The upcoming film is directed by Surender Reddy of ‘Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy’ fame. ‘Agent’ is touted to be an espionage thriller and will feature Akhil Akkineni in the lead role.
As Mammootty has already left the Telugu cinephiles spellbound with his performance as YS Rajasekhara Reddy in the 2019 film ‘Yatra’, they are eagerly waiting to watch the Megastar sharing screen with the young star Akhil Akkineni.
Meanwhile, Akhil Akkineni will play the role of a spy in ‘Agent’ and the character is reportedly inspired by Bourne, an American action thriller franchise. Newbie Sakshi Vaidya has roped in to play the female lead in the upcoming film. ‘Agent’ will apparently go on floors in Hyderabad this month.
Mammootty’s last outing was ‘The Priest’. The film was helmed by debutant Jofin T Chacko and it featured Mammootty in the role of a priest. ‘The Priest’ also marks Mammootty’s first collaboration with Manju Warrier and it attracted cinephiles, who have a taste for thrillers. Mammootty also had another release this year - ‘One’, which was a political thriller and the Megastar played the role of Kerala CM, Kadakkal Chandran.
