Megastar Mammootty was more than happy to be at Manchery, where he had been for long doing his duties as a lawyer. The actor, who established himself as a popular advocate at Malappuram before starting his acting career, was again at his familiar den for the shooting of the new movie ‘Palery Manikyam’ ‘Oru Pathira Kolapathakathinte Kathaa’. The production crew, including the producer-director Renjith, were also happy for the rains which stood away from disturbing their proceedings, from the day the megastar joined the sets. Hundreds of people from various walks of life assembled to see their favourite star and man of the soil, who is back to Mancheri after some years.

The megastar is in a double role in this movie which is an investigation thriller. One of his roles is of Haridas, a Delhi-based private detective who mets with a renewed interest about a murder that happened 50 years ago. He decides to reinvestigate it; with the help of Sarayu Sharma (played by Gowri) a criminologist who assists him.

The movie produced by Varnachithra big Screen and AVA Productions, will reach the theatres by the mid of November.
