Chennai, June 07: Bollywood actress Gracy Singh will begin shooting Wednesday for a Malayalam film opposite superstar Mammooty, director Jayaraj said Sunday.
“Gracy loved the subject when it was narrated to her and gave her dates immediately for ‘Loud Speaker’, an offbeat venture. The first schedule will begin in Thrissur Wednesday. It is Gracy’s first non-Bollywood movie,” award winning director Jayaraj told IANS.
“Moser Baer will be taking its bow in Malayalam with this venture. The humorous musical is all about a village bumpkin nicknamed ‘Mike’ Gopalakrishnan as he always shouts. Mammooty plays the title role,” he added.
Winner of the Golden Peacock for best director in 1999 for his creation Karunam and several international accolades, Jayaraj is being reunited with Mammooty after a gap of 18 years, according to a press statement from Moser Baer.
Gracy Singh is known as an actress who played offbeat roles in “Munnabhai MBBS” and Aamir Khan’s “Lagaan”, according to publicists.
