Mohanlal and Mammootty-starrer Patriot is one of the most anticipated films of the year. The Malayalam film, also starring Revathy, Nayanthara, and Fahadh Faasil, and directed by Mahesh Narayanan, has kept the buzz high ever since it was announced. Ahead of the release of the espionage thriller, the cast was recently seen gathering for a press meet in Kochi. At the event, Mammootty opened up about the film and revealed that Patriot is intended primarily for the Kerala audience. He also added that the much-anticipated film is not a pan-India release.

Mammootty says Patriot is not a pan-India film

During the press meet in Kochi, Mammootty said, “This film is made for Malayalis. While we hope it may eventually find an audience outside Kerala, the primary goal was to cater to the people of Kerala, whose cinematic tastes have evolved significantly over the years. This is not a pan-India film… Patriot will be a game-changer. It will set a new standard, and hopefully, open the doors for more big-budget films in Malayalam cinema.”
