Pattanathil Bhootham
After the super hit `Thuruppu Ghulaan', Megastar Mammootty is one again teaming up with hit maker Johny Antony for the movie `Ee Pattanathil Bhootham'.
Planned for the new generation who loves Superman and spider man series, this is essentially a visual effects fantasy movie as the name implies. The major highlights of the movie are the double roles of Mammootty.
The superstar will be appearing as Jimmy, an adventurous bike jumper in a circus company and the second role is the key to the movie, a friendly ghost who is particularly interested to maintain friendships with children.
Jimmy is an orphan who is reared up by Krishnettan (Innocent) who runs a street circus group. Jimmy and Sisupalan (Suraj Venjaramoodu), are the expert bike jumpers and their daredevil jump acts are the major highlights of the group. Jimmy is also a main enemy of the big mafia associated with begging industry, and has saved many street children from this gang of goons. These children ultimately become a part of Jimmy's family. When Jimmy and Krishnetten join the big Jumbo circus group, run by Philipose, the children also move with them.
Later Jimmy is falsely accused of an offence and is sent to jail which leave the children with no one to care off.
Into these troublesome conditions arrives the ghost, who helps the children from further worries. The ghost who befriends children also uses his super natural powers to fight the injustice in the society,
Kavya Madhavan who recently entered wedlock plays Mammootty's heroine for the first time in this movie. She is Ancy, a management graduate and the daughter of Philippose.
Johny Antony, the director is sure that the main target audience of the movie will be definitely the kids and the families.
The director says ''We are mixing reality and fantasy in logical sequences, to create a fun-filled entertainer. The movie will have extensive use of new visual effects and computer graphics".
