Malayalam films’ legendary actor Mammootty collaborates with Cubes Entertainments – banner behind controversial blockbuster Marco, for a new film. The announcement was made by the production house, led by Shareef Muhammed on Sunday through its social media accounts. The caption read, “Mammootty X Cubes Entertainments. It isn’t a mere announcement, but, a statement.” Further details, including the director and the genre are under wraps to be disclosed later.
The new announcement follows speculation around Lord Marco, a title registered last month with the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce by Marco director
Haneef Adeni and Cubes Entertainments.
However, Industry sources reveal that Unni Mukundan, who hit the headlines for Marco, will not return. Although the 2024 film’s blockbuster run and post-release statements had hinted of a sequel, Unni later withdrew, citing online toxicity. With no clarity yet on the status of Lord Marco, it isn’t known whether Mammootty has been signed for that project or for an entirely new film.
Meanwhile, Mammootty will next be seen in debutant Jithin K Jose’s Kalamkaval, which releases in cinemas on 27 November.
The veteran actor is at present working on Mahesh Narayanan’s multistarrer Patriot, reuniting him with Mohanlal on screen after more than a decade. The film, expected to complete its filming in December with plans for a Vishu 2026 release. The movie also features Fahadh Faasil Kunchacko Boban and Nayanthara in pivotal roles.
