After the stunning success of his recent 'Pokkiri Raja', Mammootty has started acting for his first Kannada film made in the title ‘Shikaari’.

The megastar will appear in twin roles in the movie, the first being a software engineer who likes a female character from a book and starts thinking as if she was real. The other character will be that of a rebel freedom fighter. The heroine of the movie will also be in a double role. The other important characters of the movie will be played by Adithya and Mohan.

Mammootty says that it was due to his responsibility for supporting attempts to make meaning films - both commercial and art - in regional languages which made him agree to this movie. Moreover, the new directors who come with different visions also help develop the actor in him. Mammootty also recalls that he has been encouraging new talents and some of the directors he introduced went on to become big names in the Malayalam industry.

The movie which will be made in Malayalam later will be presented in a different name. Chinni Prakash will be the choreographer while Harikrishna will handle the music section. K Manju is the producer of 'Shikaari ' which will be another big feat for our megastar who had already made a name in Tamil and Telugu.
