The teaser of Mammootty’s forthcoming Malayalam movie, Bazooka, has caught the fancy of fans and film buffs. Touted to be a game thriller, it is helmed by debutant director Deeno Dennis, the son of veteran scriptwriter Kaloor Dennis.
The one-minute-43-second teaser of Bazooka, released on Thursday, 15 August, begins with two people beating up a man as Tamil filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon’s Benjamin Joshua watches. He lies to his higher official on the phone call, who warns him against landing in unnecessary trouble, that he’s just watching a second show.
It is then revealed that Benjamin Joshua and his fellow cops have indeed nabbed a notorious gang. A voice-over declares that it’s time for a “game between good and bad”.
In the next shot, we’re introduced to Mammootty who gears up for the game as he receives a message, “Hey buddy, it’s Tuxedo time.”
The Bazooka teaser ends with Benjamin Joshua asking Mammootty’s character what his role in the story is and the latter replying, “There’s no role that I haven’t taken on, bro!”
On 13 August, the makers unveiled a new poster, featuring an uber-stylish Mammootty wielding a gun, that announced the teaser launch date.
Apart from Mammootty and Gautham Menon, it stars Sidharth Bharthan, Shine Tom Chacko, VK Prakash, Vasisht Umesh, and Bhama Arun.
Dolwin Kuriakose and Jinu V Abraham are backing it under the banner of Theatre of Dreams in association with Vikram Mehra and Siddharth Anand Kumar for Yoodlee Films.
The Deeno Dennis directorial has cinematography by Nimish Ravi, music by Midhun Mukundan, and editing by Nishad Yusuf.
Bazooka, which went on floors in May 2024, wrapped up its production in March this year.
Meanwhile, Mammootty is currently working on Gautham Menon’s Malayalam directorial debut to be produced under Mammootty Kampany. The project is expected to be a thriller. The cast includes Gokul Suresh, Lena, and Viji Venkatesh.
His next with director Mahesh Narayanan, which also casts Suresh Gopi, Fahadh Faasil, and Kunchako Boban in major roles, has been pushed to next year.
Reports suggest that Mammootty will work with debutant director Jithin K Jose after completing Gautham Menon’s movie.
