Mumbai: Six days after releasing the official teaser of Mamangam, the makers have now dropped Hindi teaser of Malayalam superstar Mammootty's hotly-anticipated film.
Said to be the biggest Malayalam film in terms of the budget and expanse, the project showcases the martial art of Kalaripayattu.
M. Padmakumar's directorial venture will narrate a true story around the medieval festival of Mamangam. In the film, Mammootty will be seen playing a mysterious character with multiple looks.
Though the 1-minute-30-second video has only a few shots of Mammootty, the glimpse of him as a fearless warrior seems effective in piquing the interest of fans.
Astonishingly, Mammootty, who turned 68 last month, is seen taking on enemies head-on with the help of a ‘urmi’, a whip-like blade.

Talking about what lured him in doing the film, Mammootty had earlier said that more than essaying an interesting part, it was the historical importance of the story.
"It happens in the 15th and 16th century in north Kerala... There were braver and bolder people and their sacrifice must be known to the new generation. And my role is also interesting."
In the period drama, Unni Mukundan has played a key role where he will be scorching the screen with action sequences that are based on Kalarippayattu.
The film will tell a story of one great real hero and one glorious unknown hero. The action sequences are choreographed by Sham Kaushal.
Produced by Venu Kunnappilly of Kavya Films, Mamangam will release in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi on November 21.
