Chennai, Dec 5 (NationPress) The acclaimed director Vysakh expressed his excitement to see Mammootty shine in the upcoming Malayalam film 'Kalamkaval', directed by Jithin K Jose, which premieres on Friday. He praised the legendary actor, noting that he is among those rare talents who not only perform but also evolve and challenge the limits of acting.

In a detailed post on his Instagram, Vysakh, who is currently working on Prithviraj Sukumaran's highly anticipated film 'Khalifa', stated, "Some actors do more than just act; they transform. They expand the horizons of storytelling. Watching Mammukka embrace each new role with renewed passion is a privilege we, as an audience, hold dear. I can’t wait to see how you take on this character!"

He extended his best wishes to Mammootty for 'Kalamkaval', adding, "May this film add another brilliant chapter to his illustrious career."

Vysakh also addressed Vinayakan, Jithin K Jose, and the entire film crew, expressing his anticipation for the intensity Vinayakan will bring to the film. "I’m genuinely excited this time! Sending my warmest regards to Jithin K Jose and writer Jishnu Sreekumar—your dedication deserves to resonate throughout every seat in the cinema. Congratulations to George Chettan and the #mammoottykampany team, the creative backbone of this project!"

He concluded his post with, "First day, first show—booked. When certain films arrive, we show up with our hearts wide open."

For those unfamiliar, 'Kalamkaval' features Mammootty and Vinayakan in leading roles and is set to hit theaters globally on December 5.

The film has received a U/A certificate from the Censor Board. Mammootty himself confirmed this, stating, "#Kalamkaval Censored with U/A 16+ Certificate. In Cinemas Soon."

The trailer release has ignited significant excitement among fans and cinephiles alike.

With shooting completed in November last year, 'Kalamkaval' features a story and screenplay penned by Jithin K Jose and Jishnu Sreekumar, with Praveen Prabhakar handling the editing, and Faisal Ali in charge of cinematography. The film’s music is composed by the talented young artist Mujeeb Majeed, and the stunts have been choreographed by Action Santhosh.

There’s considerable buzz around the film, with claims that it will present Mammootty in a role unlike any he’s portrayed before.
