Megastar Mammootty had been a successful ally to director Renjith for quite some years, the union which resulted in some great movies including 'Pranchiyettan...' and 'Kaiyoppu' that came out in the last few years. But with no more immediate Renjith projects and due to a very dry season in the Box Office, the megastar is looking for fresher options to continue with his ruling streak in the Mollywood Business. And the latest news is that he has found a new business pal in actor, producer and director Lal. Together they are going to produce the new movie 'Kobra' which is all set to kick of the shoot by the fifth of this November. Mammootty's Playhouse will be the production associate of this movie together with Lal creations. Lal himself will script and direct Mammooty in this movie and will also appear in the role of the second hero in this humorous thriller. The duo were excellent in the previous hit movies together -'Thommanum Makkalum' and 'Best Actor'.

Lal and Mammootty has almost confirmed Lakshmi Rai and Mamtha Mohandas as the heroines of this movie, which is expected to be on theatres by the month of February.
