The fifth sequel of the CBI series starring Mammootty has started rolling. The Malayalee audience have been eagerly waiting for the next movie in the series. Like the previous movies, SN Swamy is writing the screenplay, K Madhu is the director and Mammootty is in the lead role. Swargachithra Appachan, the producer, will bring the movie to the silver screen for the fifth time. 

All the previous four episodes of the Sethurama Iyer series were superhits. The first movie released in 1988 as ‘Oru CBI Diary Kurippu’. Later, Sethurama Iyer made his second appearance in 1989 in the movie ‘Jagratha’. Both of them were box office hits. 

After a long break, the next sequel ‘Sethurama Iyer CBI’ released in 2004 followed by ‘Nerariyan CBI’ in 2005. All of them were super hits. Sethurama Iyer holds the record of being the rare Malayalam movie series that made all four episodes super hit. The fifth part of the film is coming after a gap of 13 years.
