Jagadeesh who has acted in more than 150 films as comedian, hero and character roles is venturing into directing a film in which Mammootty is playing the role of an IT genius with three different looks.

Mammootty is a techno savvy actor who is always seen playing with latest mobile phones and gadgets in the sets.

But he has rarely been cast as a technocrat in movies. Indraprastham, in which he played as one didn’t do well.

Mammootty will join the movie AAA by the first week of May, after he completes a month family vacation abroad.

He had 8 releases in 2009 and was awarded Doctorate by Calicut and Kerala Universities. His first release in 2010 Drona, bombed in box office. His upcoming film is Pokkiri Raja with Prithviraj and Shreya Saran.

Jagadeesh who is also a screenplay writer, anchor, singer and teacher has earlier written the scripts for Adhipan, Ganamela, Akkare Ninnoru Maran and News. His film In Ghost House Inn and April fool are doing well.

Amar Akbar Antony is produced by Ajayachandran Nair, the maker of Ananthabhadram and Chotta Mumbai.
