Jagadeesh to direct Mammootty film

Jagadeesh, on a high following the terrific success of his '2 Harihar Nagar' is all set to don the director's cap. He will be directing superstar Mammootty in his debut movie. The scripting for the yet to be titled movie is in full swing.

Jagadeesh, who has written the script for Mammootty superhit 'Manivathoorile Aayiram Sivarathrikal' directed by Fazil in the '80s, is known to be a multi-faceted talent. It was only a matter of time when he picks up the megaphone, his friends used to say.

Jagadeesh retains the refreshing youthfulness and charm he had when he started out in Mollywood some two decades ago. The success of '2 Harihar Nagar' is a case in point.

The Mammootty movie will be produced by Ajayachandran Nair.
