Actor Sarath Kumar is acting in a historical film – 'Pazhassi Raja' – with Malayalam superstar Mammootty .
This is the first time he is acting in a Malayalam movie, Kumar told reporters in Coimbatore Monday.
While Mammootty is donning the role of main character of Pazhassi Raja who waged a war against the British in the 18th century, his role is also equally important as that of the King's close confidant and lieutenant, Kunkan, Kumar said.
As the producer wanted to recreate the 1797 period, the budget may touch rs.15 crore to rs.20 crore for the film, he said.
The script is written by M T Vasudevan Nair and direction by Hariharan.
"Incidentally, Mammootty acted the first time in a Tamil film with me," said Kumar, who floated a political outfit, All India Samathuva Makkal Katchi, five months ago.
