Last week, an exclusive photo shoot of Mohanlal's Max Lab's first production Sagar alias Jackie was held at Kochi. Sagar is the character Mohanlal played 17 years back in the S N Swamy-written, K Madhu-directed film Irupatham Nootandu.
Mohanlal, with a beard and wearing a black leather windcheater, is once again taking up the gun. "We are taking the character Sagar, a smalltime gangster, to Dubai and making him the biggest underworld Don settled there, who deals with Hawala money and arms in Sagar alias Jackie," says script writer S N Swamy.
In the new version Sagar comes to Kerala, as his enemies try to trap him in an 'explosive' case.
The film is being directed by Malayalam's most stylish director Amal Nirad of Big-B fame. The film is being shot in the exotic locations of Goa, Mumbai, Dubai, Leh and Kochi and will be a stylish thriller on the lines of Billa or a Don.
There are two heroines in the film for Mohanlal, one a CNN reporter who is writing an expose on Sagar and the other a girl who helps him in Kerala. Producer Antony Perumbavoor has approached Nayanthara to play one of the heroines, while Meena will play the other heroine.
The shoot of Sagar alias Jackie will start in the middle of December, and the film will release on March 31, 2009 as Mohanlal's big summer release.
