Turbo - New schedule of Mammootty and Vysakh’s action film begins in Chennai; Read details

Turbo, the highly anticipated action film that stars Mammootty in the lead role, started rolling by the last quarter of 2023. The much-awaited project marks the megastar’s reunion with hitmaker Vysakh, after a long gap of over 5 years. The actor-director duo was originally supposed to team up for the big budget action thriller New York, in 2020. However, the project delayed indefinitely and eventually shelved, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and multiple lockdowns.

Now, Mammootty and Vysakh are teaming up for Turbo, which is penned by the popular actor-director Midhun Manuel Thomas. The veteran actor is set to play the titular character Turbo Jose in the movie, which is reportedly slated to hit the big screens in May 2024.
