The films released last year with Mammootty playing the lead role were different from each other. This year is no exception. Christopher is Mammootty's film that hits the theatres after Lijo Jose Pellissery's Nanpakal. Mammootty will again play the role of a policeman in the film directed by B. Unnikrishnan. The film Christopher has screenplay by Udayakrishna. Venu Kunnappilly, who produced Mamangam, produces the film. The film stars Mammootty in the lead role as well.
Producer Venu Kunnappilly says that he heard the story of the film once. "I am eagerly waiting for this movie. I once heard the story from the writer of the film. I got goosebums; Mammooka's intense moments... If everything goes as planned, this will be one and a half films." Venu Kunnappilly wrote on social media alongside the film's new poster. Apart from Mamangam, he is also the producer of Unni Mukundan's Malikappuram, which is currently in theatres. His upcoming films are Jude Antony Joseph's 2018 Everyone Is a Hero and Chaver.
