Mammootty's role in the
tear jerker beach tale, Amaram, is still considered as one of his best. While
Amaram was a serious movie, the superstar will be part of a fun seashore story
soon. Titled Manglish, the film will be directed by Salaam Bapu. In it Mammootty will appear as a fish seller without any education.
"Manglish is a story set around beaches. Often in sea-surrounded locales, there will be beaches where we get to see extreme opposite images — those occupied by the local fishermen community with all its rawness; and an adjacent, artificial one that caters mainly to the tourists. The cultural differences are strikingly conspicuous in such a set up.

Mammootty plays a
tharakan — someone who auctions fish at the beach," says Salaam.
Interestingly, the leading lady of the film is likely to be an English actress, Caroline Bech, who has acted in many movies abroad. "Caroline plays a tourist, who knows only English and lands up on the beach during a vacation. The movie revolves around their association and will have many fun moments," says Salaam.
Earlier, there were reports that Fahadh Faasil is also part of the film's cast but the director clarifies that the news is false. The film is to be shot in Fort Kochi soon and Gopi Sundar will compose its music.
