Mollywood megastar Mammootty has recently come up with the crime thriller Kalamkaval. Directed by debutant Jithin K. Jose, Mammootty played a psychopath in this film. The movie received solid reports from critics and became a commercial success.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Mammootty revealed why he produced the film himself. He said, “No other producer will agree to cast me in such a role, so I produced it myself. You cannot perform the same role 100 times; it should be different.”

Vinayakan, Rajisha Vijayan, Gibin Gopinath, and others played crucial roles, while Meera Jasmine appeared in a cameo. The film is bankrolled by Mammootty Kampany, with music composed by Mujeeb Majeed.
