First Look: Mammootty's Kobra

Malayalam actors Mammootty and Lal play non-identical twins in Cobra. The shooting is currently on in Chalakudy, a small town in Kerela. 

Lal has also scripted the film and is directing Mammootty for the first time. Padmapriya and Kaniha are the heroines.

Cobra is a comedy of siblings, who are very close to each other. The title of the film is a short form, in Malayalam, for Kuala Lumpur Brothers and that was where they were born. 

Now, they want to associate with everything that begins with 'Ko', be it Coimbatore, Kozhikode or Kottayam! 

Lalu Alex, Maniyanpillai Raju, Salim Kumar and Suresh Krishna also star in the film. The shooting will be completed in two schedules in Kochi and Bangkok. 

Cobra is being produced by Anto Joseph, with camerawork by Venu and Alex Paul as music director.

Kaniha to be Mammootty's heroine again

Lal directed Mammootty film 'Cobra' has remained in the news for several reasons, and one of them has been the film's heroines.

At first it was reported that Padmapriya has been cast opposite Lal and that Lekshmi Rai would be Mammootty's pair in the film.

Later Lekshmi Rai was out of the picture, and Sruthi Ramakrishnan, was rumoured to have been roped in instead of Lekshmi.

And now, Lekshmi Rai is back in the film, and would be Lal's heroine. Sruthi Ramakrishnan is not a part of the project, and Kaniha would be seen opposite Mammootty in the film.

Kaniha and Mammootty were seen together earlier in films like 'Pazhassi Raja' and 'Drona 2010'.

Lal would also be seen in a parallel role along with Mammootty in the film. Maniyanpillai Raju, Lalu Alex, Salim Kumar and Kunchan would offer support.
