Mammootty will have the first release of 2009 in 'Love in Singapore'. A hilarious comedy scripted and directed by Rafi-Mecartin, the movie has already completed its shoots and is presently in its post production stages.

The movie which was earlier planned for a Christmas release was shifted due to another Mammootty starrer 'Vande Matharam' which was expected for the season. But 'Vande Matharam' - a bilingual failed to complete its shoots in time and left Mammootty with no film to sign off 2008.

‘Love in Singapore' will have Mammootty playing a scrap dealer named Machu. Navaneeth Kaur is the heroine of the movie which will feature all the Rafi-Mecartin regulars.
