Mammootty Returns to 'Patriot' Set on Oct. 1 After Health Break

The production stayed on schedule by filming other actors during his treatment.

Overview

  • Director Mahesh Narayanan confirmed the October 1 return and said the shooting plan remained intact during the hiatus.
  • The crew filmed sequences with other cast members and shared edit reviews with Mammootty at his home to maintain momentum.
  • Roughly 65–70% of the film is complete, and the star had already finished about 45 days of work before stepping away.
  • The upcoming schedule includes key scenes with Mohanlal before the unit moves to the UK, with Hyderabad portions also expected.
  • The comeback will be phased with dubbing first and temporary medical restrictions, after treatment for an unspecified issue and a denial of cancer rumors.
