Fahadh Faasil, Darshana Rajendran and Kunchacko Boban are taking part in the second schedule.

So far 8 schdules has been completed. Mammootty and Mohanlal have worked together in over 55 films . The duo have earlier collaborated on the 2013 release ‘Kadal kadannu oru Mathukutty directed by Renjith.
Reports say that screenplay has been changed to make Kunchacko and Mohanlal
role lengthier.
In a
now-deleted or quietly overlooked Facebook post, Sri Lanka’s official tourism
page appears to have named the project while promoting the country’s rising
popularity as a shooting destination. Whether it was a PR slip or a clever bit
of viral marketing, fans are all over it — dissecting, decoding, and delighting
in the possibility that the title has been revealed before the filmmakers
intended.
It was in
the 1980s that Mammootty and Mohanlal established themselves in the industry as
big stars. Interestingly, here we are talking about an instance when Mohanlal
appeared as a character named as Mammootty. It was during the first half of the
1980s that the much loved actor had played a character with the name Mammootty.
Yes, we are talking about the 1984 movie Manasariyathe, in which Mohanlal had
played a character named Mammootty. The film had featured Nedumudi Venu in the
lead role and Mohanlal too, essayed a crucial role in this movie. Mammootty,
the character played by Mohanlal in the movie appears only halfway down the
movie, but the character has a crucial part in the development of the movie.
Mohanlal has appeared as Mohanlal in a couple of films. In Manu Uncle, the
Mammootty starrer, the actor played himself doing a memorable cameo. Similar
was the case of the movie Kadal Kadannoru Maathukutty, in which he appeared as
himself.
At the same time, he has also portrayed characters named Lal in some of the
films. How can we forget the Sarvakalashala, in which he is fondly called as
'Lalettan' by all? Similarly, Mohanlal essayed a character named Lal, in Lal
Americayil.
