Mammootty has returned from his eight-month hiatus from cinema by returning to the sets of Mahesh Narayanan’s Patriot in Hyderabad. It was between the shooting of this very film that Mammootty took a sabbatical from work due to health-related concerns. The superstar was seen on set interacting with the media. Mammootty said,” This is the job I love, right? Let’s just say all the prayers have finally been heard.”
Mammootty, when asked about his headspace at the moment on sets with director Mahesh Narayanan, Anto Joseph, and the rest of the crew, also added, “Prayers out of love will always find a result. I think this is the evidence. Love to one and all who remembered, loved, and prayed during the time.” Mammootty, sporting long hair and a pair of shades, thanked the media and audiences for all the wishes. “I thank everyone who reached out with wishes.” The team behind the film also confirmed that the first official title reveal and teaser for the film will be on October 2, at 12 PM. The announcement poster featured the caption,” Bringing together the Big M’s of Indian Cinema,” referring to the reunion of Malayalam stars Mammooty and Mohanlal on screen after many years.
