Summary
- Mammootty honored Mohanlal on the 'Patriot' set for his Dadasaheb Phalke Award.
- The felicitation occurred on the Hyderabad set with director Mahesh Narayanan present.
- The film 'Patriot' features Mammootty and Mohanlal in lead roles.
Veteran actors Mammootty and Mohanlal shared a moment of camaraderie on the Hyderabad set of their forthcoming film, 'Patriot.' Mammootty honored Mohanlal shortly after he received the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award from President Droupadi Murmu at the 71st National Film Awards in New Delhi. The on-set celebration included director Mahesh Narayanan and actor Kunchacko Boban, who also presented shawls to Mohanlal.
This warm exchange underscores the strong bond within the 'Patriot' ensemble, a stark contrast to the film's anticipated politically charged storyline. The film's teaser, released on October 2, hints at a socio-political narrative featuring Mohanlal as Col Rahim Naik and Mammootty as Dr Daniel James, who unite to dismantle an illicit operation.
'Patriot' is generating significant buzz, with its teaser hinting at a complex plot involving a project called 'Periscope' and a student laptop scheme. Filming has spanned India, Sri Lanka, and the UAE, with a theatrical release scheduled for Vishu 2026, further amplifying anticipation for this ensemble drama.
