Though the shoot for the new movie 'Kobra' has started at Chalakkudy a couple of days ago, the first schedule will come to a halt as producer's association's film strike is likely to start today. Mammootty was not the part of the shoot as he was planning to join the sets only after completing the shoot of 'The king and the Commissioner' at Hyderabad. Producer -director Lal will be playing the second big character of the movie, which will also feature Maniyanpillai Raju, Lalu Alex, Salim Kumar and Kunchan in other important roles.

Padmapriya and Sruthi Ramakrishnan would be the heroines of the movie, the shoot for which will now restart only after the strike is over.
