 A keralite who kept a loof from Malayalam cinema for an year will totally be under suspicion, if he suddenly pounce upon a Mammooty cinema of today. Believed by most as an actor who could not deliver comedy in par with other Mallu artists or who could not through his legs to music are all now, the notions kept to describe the Mammootty of yesterday.
We have seen three throughout comedy films of Mammootty last year - of which 2 were super hits and one becoming the biggest groser in Malayalam cinema history. Keeping with this line is the next film in the offering for Vishu - Thuruppu Gulan. In this film Mammootty is seen Performing dances and delivering laughing sequences to the extremes.

The film is all about the clashes between the family of Ghulan Kunjumon and the present caretakers of the star hotel, in the issues of shifting the Thattukada to another place so as to clear off the disturbing small establishments that is posing problems to the hotel.
