Malayalam cinema legends Mammootty and Mohanlal are set to reunite in the upcoming political thriller 'Patriot,' directed by Mahesh Narayanan.

The filmmaking team has already completed the re-editing work at Lal Media Studio in Kochi. Following the submission and clearance of the revised print, the film is on track for its original release date of May 1st.
To further build anticipation, an exclusive chat show featuring Mammootty, Mohanlal, and the 'Patriot' team is scheduled to stream on April 23rd at 6 PM.
