Director Anwar Rasheed created quite a sensation at the box office with his debut film Rajamanikyam starring Mammootty.
The film is said to be one of Malayalam cinema's biggest hits. Now the two are coming together again for Annan Thampi, a film where Mammootty plays a double role. The film is slated for a Vishu release.
Elaborating on the double role, the young director who made Chotta Mumbai with Mohanlal last year, said, "It was the search for a character that Mammootty hasn't done, which led script writer Benny P Nayaramabalam and I to create the mute character and original hero of Annan Thampi. As the discussions went on, we decided to add a twin brother as well, who is quite unlike his 'vocally challenged' brother."
