One of the latest industry grapewine suggests that Mammootty will don the lead character in the Kannada movie 'Shikari'. To be directed by Abhay Simha, an internationally acclaimed director for his previous film ''Gubbachigalu'' , Mammootty is said to be heavily impressed by the story lines of the movie. The makers of the project including the producers N R Shetty are in the run to bring in Konkona sen sharma to do the female lead.It will be a matter to watch for, how will the actor find time amidst his hectic schedules, to be in this movie. Meanwhile, another story that came up a couple of days ago is that Mammootty has already agreed to be in the lead role, in the movie to be directed by Oscar nominated sound director-Rasool Pookkutty. The film which will present the talented sound designer into movie direction, will be based on the famous novel ''Govaardhanante yaathrakal''. No official confirmations has come out from the actor, regarding his participation in both these movies.
After his colleague superstar Mohanlal making it for the first time in Kannada film 'Love' of national repute director S.V.Rajendra Singh Babu (Debut of Aditya and top actress Rakshita) another Malayalam superstar Mammootty is making his first appearance in 'Shikari' Kannada film in the direction of youngster Abhay Simha.
Mammootty's 'Shikari' will be produced by N.R.Shetty and the chance of the Kannada version getting dubbed into Malayalam is very bright. Mammootty in the past acted with Kannada superstar Dr.Vishnuvardhana in 'Kankanam' Telugu film. After that a few prominent directors and banners tried to rope in Mammootty in Kannada but nothing positive worked out.
The reason for Mammootty to accept is the story that is having shades of pre and post independence. The hero and heroine in the film 'Shikari' go in search of the place they have read in the book.
The national award winning actress Konkana Sen has agreed to star in this Kannada film because Mammootty is in the lead role. Anmol Bhave scores the music, Suchitra Sathe is the editor and Vikram Srivathsav who handled camera in debut of Abhay Simha 'Gubbachchigalu' children film is behind the camera in 'Shikari'.
In the hilly region of Karnataka the Kannada film 'Shikari' starring Mammootty and Konkana Sen is going on the floor in the month of March 2009
