Jewel to play an activist

Actress Jewel Mary has joined the set of Kamal’s Utopiayile Rajavu.
The movie, a political satire, will see the artiste play the role of an activist. Speaking about her character in the film, Jewel says, “I play Uma Devi, an activist. The movie revolves around the fight for an ideal village.”
This is for the second time after Salim Ahmed’s Pathemari that the actress is sharing screen space with Mammootty.“Working with Mammootty has always been great. He’s a supportive co-star and will correct you whenever you go wrong. He just wants the output to be good. I don’t play his lover in the film. We are two opposite characters and share a complicated relationship.”
The shoot of the political satire has started in Thodupuzha. Filmmaker Kamal and Mammootty have earlier worked together for Karutha Pakshikal in 2006. Jewel in an earlier interview had mentioned that it is the megastar who referred her to director Kamal. “It is just four days into the shoot but I am totally enjoying the experience. Kamal sir is full of energy and you’ll see him running around and being completely involved in the film.” The movie will also see Joy Mathew, Sunil Sukhada, Nandu and Pashanam Shaji in pivotal roles.
