Awesome co-stars
Manju will be sharing screen space with superstar Mammootty for the first time in their careers. The classy poster for debutant director Jofin T Chacko’s The Priest shows Mammootty in the garb of a capuchin priest and has all the mystery feel that the movie promises to be.

Interesting directors
