This is the magic of Mohanlal and Mammootty!

In the Telugu film industry, it is always a big challenge to have two multi-starrers acting together in the same film. Without the egos of the heroes, box office calculations, huge budgets... it is almost impossible to achieve such combinations.

Rajamouli was the only one who managed to bring NTR and Ram Charan together with the film 'RRR'. Apart from that, full-fledged multi-starrers still remain a dream. Despite decades of careers, even legendary pairs like Chiranjeevi-Pawan Kalyan or Balakrishna-NTR have not acted together in a full-fledged film till now.

But, the situation is different in Malayalam cinema. There, top stars work together without any problem. The best example of that is Mammootty and Mohanlal. Both of them recently completed the shooting of a big project called 'Patriot'. It also features Nayanthara, Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, and Revathi. Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, the film is set against the backdrop of patriotism and back pain. Its teaser has received a good response.

​Mohanlal and Mammootty's bond is one of the best friendships in Indian cinema. Not only on screen, but also off screen. Many of the films they have acted together have become super hits in Malayalam, Telugu, and Tamil dubbing as well. Unlike the competition seen between stars in other industries, their friendship has always been stable and honest. That is why when these two come together, it feels like a big festival for the Malayalam audience.

​Especially, Mohanlal's energy is unstoppable. Even after crossing sixty years, he is releasing four to five films a year. From family dramas like 'Thudarum' to huge pan-India films like 'Empuran', he makes films regardless of genre. His work speed and consistency... it's clear why Mohanlal is still a dynamic star.
