KOCHI: ‘1993 Bombay March 12’ is Mammootty’s new film directed by debutant Babu Janardhanan who has scripted films such as ‘Achanurangatha Veedu’, ‘Vaasthavam’ and ‘Thalappavu’ among others.
An emotion-filled family drama with suspense, it unfolds in the aftermath of the Mumbai bomb blasts of 1993, says the director. He also adds that it was Mammootty who gave him the courage to take up direction.
“The storyline is rather complex, one with several layers of intrigue, and it should be a thrilling experience for viewers. It narrates the tale of Sanathana Bhat (Mammootty), a Hindu priest, and Abida (Roma), a young Muslim woman from a village in Kerala, who have premonitions about the bomb blasts, which change the course of their lives forever,” says Babu.
Vipin Mohan is the cameraman. Lyrics by Rafeeq Ahmed have been tuned by Afsal Yusuf. ‘1993 Bombay March 12’ is being produced by Haneef Mohammed under the banner of Red Rose Creations.
