Patriot, an upcoming Malayalam film starring Mammootty, has been making waves with its star-studded cast and high-octane action sequences. Ahead of its release, the cast gathered for a press meet in Kochi, where Mammootty spoke about the film's intentions.
According to Mammootty, Patriot is primarily made for the Kerala audience and is not a pan-India release. He stated that while they hope the film will eventually find an audience outside Kerala, the primary goal was to cater to the people of Kerala, whose cinematic tastes have evolved significantly over the years.
The film, directed by Mahesh Narayanan, revolves around a retired JAG officer, portrayed by Mammootty, who is wrongfully framed for espionage. Determined to clear his name and protect the nation, he embarks on a covert mission, joined by Mohanlal, playing a battle-hardened armed forces operative.
Patriot marks the collaboration between actors Mammootty and Mohanlal together after 13 years since Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty (2013). The film's action sequences, including fight scenes between Mohanlal and Mammootty, are not just for spectacle, but have a deeper reason behind them, which will become clear once the audience sees the film.
