Padayaatra also includes roles by Sreeshma Chandran, Alencier Ley Lopez, Madhupal, Nandhu, Zeenath, and Professor Aliyar. Said to be about a Dr Devadas, played by Mammootty himself, the project will see him turn into an urban practitioner who follows Gandhian principles. Indrans has been reported to be playing his assistant. The project has been highly awaited by the fans of the 74-year-old as it reunites him with Adoor Gopalakrishnan after more than three decades following the release of Vidheyan in 1994. They have also worked on Anantaram (1987) and Mathilukal (1990).
Previously, it was revealed that Mammootty and Mohanlal’s upcoming film, Patriot, will also find its way to the theaters this year. The Mahesh Narayanan directorial will be released on April 23, 2026.
Mammootty was last seen in Kalamkaval, in which he played Stanley Das, and then made a cameo appearance in Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies. He will also make an appearance in Ranjith’s upcoming untitled film, where he will be reprising his iconic character Karikkamuri Shanmukhan from the 2004 movie Black.
