Anticipation and excitement have been sky-high since the project’s announcement, as ‘Patriot’ marks the historic onscreen reunion of Malayalam cinema’s legendary actors, Mammootty and Mohanlal, in lead roles after an 18-year gap. Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, Revathi, and Rajiv Menon in pivotal roles.
