First Look: Mammootty and Nayantara in Bhaskar the Rascal

Get your lowdown on what's going on in the Malayalam film industry.

In director Siddique’s Bhaskar the Rascal, Mammootty plays the titular character -- a rich guy with a bad attitude.

Bhaskar has toughened up after witnessing his father lose everything in life.

“He fights with most people he deals with but Bhaskar is a nice man but very few people know that,” Siddique reveals. 

“Nayantara plays Hima, who sells homemade cakes. She influences Bhaskar at a certain point in his life,” he adds.

Bhaskar the Rascal, produced by Anto Joseph, will hit the screens during Vishu.
