The shooting of the new 'August15' holds a special record. The movie will have megastar Mammootty shooting an entire film in Thriuvananthapuram, after a gap of many years. And this seems to end up in shifting of many functions with the megastar, to the capital city.

Ever since the actor was in Thiruvananthapuram, he is busy attending a number of functions every evening. Last week he was in the pooja function of ‘Bangkok Summer’, a youth movie by Pramod -Pappan which will be shot entirely at foreign locales. The megastar lit the ceremonial lamp in the pooja ceremony of the movie, which will be scripted by Rajesh Jayaraman.

Mammootty was also seen in audio release functions of films like 'College Days' which will grace the theatres soon. Mammootty is also surrounded by the TV channels for special interviews, as the capital city remains the headquarters of the television industry and most of the Television channels operating in Malayalam.
