For quite some years, director Jayaraj has been trying to work out a project with Mega star Mammootty. The director has even confirmed stories about such a project years ago, which never materialized. But now, the ace director who is facing a big slump in his career with continuous flops is into the last lap of doing a Mammootty project. His new flick with Mammootty will be scripted by director Renjith. The other details of the movie will be announced after confirming the actual call sheets of Mammootty.

Jayaraj's first film with Mammootty was 'Johny Walker' which came out fifteen years ago. This movie released in 1993 was also scripted by Renjith, who was then a struggling scriptwriter. 'Johny Walker' after an impressive opening, failed to become a big hit, but was noted for its technical finesse and stylistic workouts.
