Mammootty has shared insights about his upcoming film 'Patriot', stating that it is primarily made for Malayalis rather than being a pan-India project. During a press conference in Kochi, he highlighted that while there is hope for broader appeal, the film's main focus is on the evolving cinematic tastes of the people in Kerala. This film marks a significant reunion with Mohanlal, generating excitement among fans. 'Patriot', directed by Mahesh Narayanan, is an espionage thriller that follows a retired Judge Advocate General officer, played by Mammootty, who is wrongfully accused of espionage. As he seeks to clear his name, he becomes embroiled in a covert mission involving national security, with Mohanlal portraying a seasoned armed forces operative. The film also features a strong ensemble cast including Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Revathy, and Nayanthara. Mammootty stressed that the action scenes are integral to the storyline and serve a deeper purpose, promising a narrative that goes beyond mere visual spectacle.
