This film is also slated to be released in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi. Manoj K Jayan and Suresh Krishna also done important roles in the film. As for the sources, the actors claimed Pazhassi Raja to be the first freedom fighter

Mammootty, Sarath Kumar are the  Malayalam superstars actors
inaugurate new film’s website
Chennai: Malayalam superstar Mammootty and Tamil star Sarath Kumar inaugurated the website for their forthcoming release, Pazhassi Raja in Chennai on Tuesday. But the focus was clearly on a collaboration of a different kind.
Tamil and Malayalam stars sharing screen space seems to be the trend of the season. If Mohanlal and Kamal Hassan have teamed up for Unnaippoal Oruvan, then Mammooty and Sarath are coming together after all most 19 years, for the historical drama Pazhassi Raja.
This story of the legendary Malayali prince, who died fighting the British made at a budget of about Rs 30 crore, is perhaps one of the most expensive films in Malayalam. While Mammootty plays the lead role of the Malayali prince and Sarath plays his warrior in the film.
“I’m really happy to have done this character which suited me very well because of my built. When they told me the script, I really liked it as a warrior and it had all the nuances, the action scenes, the emotions, the performance and working with Mammootty was a great experience for me,” said Sarath.
“I don’t feel any difference working with any of my co-actors. I’m very friendly with everybody. Even if I act with anybody and we know each other very well. Even when I started my Tamil films, he was there with me and I’m comfortable with all actors and they are comfortable with me,” added Sarath.
Mammooty had his take on southern film productions having dominated the 55th National Awards, picking up the key awards.
“We make the better films I think, we make more films. See last time in the Indian Panorama-there were 21 films to be included in the Panorama and seven Malayalam films, that is one third, we are there,” said Mammootty.
Talking about his films in the future, Mammootty said, “I’m doing a film with Arjun that is Aruvadai. That is a new direction by Pankaj productions. That is already almost finished.”
And what about the other projects in the actor’s kitty right now?
“I’ve already finished a film with Shaji N Karun, a film called Loudspeaker with Jayaraj, another film with a midnight murder story, Paleri Manickam it’s again a period film. We have done a film called Kerala Café, which has ten stories put together; I’m there in one story. And I’ll be joining for Chattambi Raja on Wednesday,” he said.
Now that sounds like a treat for all Mammootty fans!
Mammootty and Sarath in a Tamil film
September 09, 2009
It is well publicized that the Malayalam mega star Mammootty and Tamil’ supreme star Sarath Kumar are acting together in a multilingual film, titled Pazhassi Raja in Malayalam. This film is also slated to be released in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi.
Speaking to the reporters about the film, both the actors said that they would work together once again in a Tamil film if the opportunity comes by. Apart from Mammootty and Sarath Kumar, Manoj K Jayan and Suresh Krishna also don important roles in the film.
The actors clarified that it was never claimed Pazhassi Raja to be the first freedom fighter, as reported earlier, but he is one of the freedom fighters in the early stages of freedom struggle.

National Film Awards
NOTED THEATRE and film personality Feroz Abbas Khan has bagged two National Film Awards, including Special Jury Award for best film and Best Screenplay Award for his film Gandhi My Father. A third award for best supporting actor also went to Darshan Jariwalla for Gandhi My Father.
At the forefront of Indian theatre today, Feroz Abbas Khan is recognised as much for exploring new forms, as for bringing Hindi theatre, mainstream recognition. In a career spanning more than two decades, he has directed some of India’s finest acting talent, both from stage and cinema.
From the intensely contemplative to the utterly exhilarating, from autobiographical one man shows to two character plays to full scale musicals….his pioneering productions have travelled extensively in India and abroad. His plays have been staged to packed audiences and international critical acclaim. The Lincoln centre and the United Nations in New York, the Memorial Hall-Stanford University, the Universal Studios Amphi-theatre in Los Angeles, the Waterman’s Arts Centre in London and the Durban Playhouse in South Africa are some of the theatres he has performed at. He continues to travel with his powerful plays to Europe, North America, far East Asia, Middle East, South East Asia and South Africa.
In line with a belief, that any pursuit of excellence, must go parallel to continued relevant social contribution; Feroz Abbas Khan’s theatre company has been silently but significantly associated with various committed social organisations; supporting and helping them raise funds and awareness.
As the first artistic director of the prestigious Prithvi Theatre in Mumbai, the throbbing hub of the young, the talented and the restless; Feroz, along with the late Jenniffer Kapoor spearheaded the International Prithvi Theatre Festival.
Proficient in various languages, he blends the Eastern tradition of story telling with Western sensibilities and modernity. His production of Peter Shaffer’s epic play ‘The Royal Hunt of The Sun’ and the recent contemporary Indian adaptation of Arthur Miller’s classic ‘Death of a Salesman’ are considered landmark events in Indian theatre.
His English theatre production of Mahatma v/s Gandhi created a sensation wherever it was staged. Major newspapers in India wrote laudatory editorials, news channels like BBC and NKK in Japan featured it in their prime time news and The New York Times called it ‘The finest English play to emerge from India in a long time’. Some of the finest acting talents like Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi, Anupam Kher, Kirron Kher, Farooque Shaikh, Seema Biswas, Satish Kaushik, Boman Irani and others have given their finest performances under his direction.
With ‘Gandhi- My Father’, Feroz made his first foray into the arena of motion picture. He was recently felicitated by Harvard University with a special screening followed by a discussion.
