The year 2016 seems to be a very busy year for Mammooty with back-to-back projects. Soon after wrapping up the shoot of White and Kasaba, Mammooty has joined the sets of the Johny Antony-directed Thoppil Jopan. The actor will be seen playing an Achayan — a role that he has excelled in the past, and is also a kabbadi enthusiast. Mammooty is a part of the team ‘Cheers’ which takes on their opponents Team ‘Warriors’. The shoot of the film is progressing and has two heroines Andrea Jeremiah and Mamta Mohandas and will reportedly see Mammooty in two different time frames. Mamta had earlier shared screen space with Mammootty in Varsham, Jawan of Vellimala, Bus Conductor, Big B, etc. The film is scripted by Nishad Koya and stars Renji Panicker, Harisree Ashokan, Alencier, Suresh Krishna and Saju Navodaya in prominent roles and is looking to an Onam release.
