Mammootty, the legendary Malayalam actor, celebrated his 73rd birthday in style by giving his fans an exciting update on his next project. On this special occasion, the actor revealed the first look of his upcoming film, Dominic and the Ladies' Purse, directed by Gautam Vasudev Menon.
The film's intriguing title caught the attention of many, and the poster only added to the curiosity. In the poster, Mammootty is seen dressed in a bathrobe, but it’s not his appearance that takes centre stage. Instead, the focus shifts to a board with various photographs connected by lines, suggesting some kind of investigation or clue mapping.
A purse placed on the floor hints that Mammootty may be playing a detective in this film, adding more layers to the mystery surrounding the plot. Mammootty shared the poster on social media with the caption: "Presenting the First Look Poster of Dominic and the Ladies' Purse, Directed by @menongautham & Produced by @MKampanyOffl.”

Mammootty has been picking unique projects in recent years, consistently challenging himself with diverse roles. He recently bagged his 15th Filmfare Award for his role in Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, a 2023 film directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery.

Recently, Mammootty voiced his support for the Hema Committee report, which highlighted issues of sexual abuse and poor working conditions faced by women in the Malayalam film industry. The actor took to Facebook to share his thoughts in Malayalam, stating, "I wholeheartedly welcome and support the recommendations and solutions in the Hema Committee report. It is time for all associations in the film industry to join hands and implement them."
