After a series of hits under his belt, Mammootty is all determined to make his forthcoming movies too put up an excellent showat the box-office. He has got a couple of movies Bus Conductor and Balram Vs Taradas ready for release.

Speaking about Balram Vs Taradas, directed by I V Sasi, the actor says, 'In the movie I play a dual role. A fire brand Inspector Balram and also a wealthy smuggler Taradas'.

‘I have a soft corner for Taradas, as he is more romantic.'

Asked whether he had taken any special efforts to prepare himself for the role of a bus conductor in the movie titled the same, he says, 'I haven't traveled in a bus for quite a while . But I have enough experience traveling in buses during my younger days. The frame of mind and the issues that nag bus employees have been the same all along. Watching them then helped me ’.

But Mammooty himself is traveling on the bus of success in a big way these days.
