Mammootty has addressed the polarising response to his much-hyped espionage thriller Patriot for the first time at an event in Dubai.
He said, 'We are living in an era where privacy is increasingly lost, and the film Patriot addresses this relevant subject,' he said.
'There will be different views—good, bad, partly good, mostly good. Everyone is free to express their opinion as they feel. Some of you may have heard such opinions before coming here. Whatever it is, you will form your own view, and that is what matters. Films are made with the intention of being enjoyed by all.'
The film, which marks the collaboration between actors Mammootty and Mohanlal together after 13 years, revolves around a retired JAG officer, portrayed by Mammootty, who is wrongfully framed for espionage.
Joining him in this high-stakes operation is Mohanlal, playing a battle-hardened armed forces operative. Tension rises as Fahadh Faasil’s character appears deeply concerned about the two joining forces, hinting at a complex narrative filled with power struggles and intrigue.
