The Kannur squad has a rarity that can be called the poetic justice of the times
‘Kannur Squad’, an investigation thriller directed by Robbie Varghese Raj starring Mammootty, is getting a good response in the theatres. The screenplay of the film has been written by Rony David Raj, brother of Robbie Varghese Raj and Mohammad Shafi. Ronnie is playing an important role in the film. Kannur Squad also has the distinction of being a film produced by Mammootty’s company after Mayakam and Roshak. The film is distributed by Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films.
The Kannur squad has a rarity that can be called the poetic justice of the times. Ronnie and Robbie are the sons of the producer who produced Mammootty’s 1989 film Mahayanam. Though critically acclaimed, Mahayanam failed to do well at the box office that day. The manufacturer suffered huge financial losses. He got into debt and abandoned the film production itself. Years later, Mammootty has paid off that old debt by producing a film directed by one of the same producer’s sons and acted by the other.
“Glad to put this pic on my feed. Lots of love and mixed feelings. In 1989, Papa produced the Mammootty-starrer ‘Mahayanam’. Although the film was critically acclaimed, it cost him a lot of money and eventually he had to abandon the production. But his love for films was carried forward well by the next generation… 34 years later his elder son Ronnie wrote the screenplay and the younger one Robby directed it with the same megastar Mammootty!! The circle of life is complete,” says Dr. Robbie Raj’s wife. A note shared by Anju Mary Paul is gaining attention.
‘Kannur Squad’ is a film that presents the lives of policemen in accurate meter without exaggeration. And this film is also a tribute to the policemen who are 100% sincere towards their uniform and their work and who work tirelessly regardless of time and place.
