What is Patriot about?

Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, the film follows covert operatives uncovering a major surveillance conspiracy that escalates into a national security emergency. The movie marks Mammootty's onscreen reunion with screen stalwart Mohanlal, with Fahadh Faasil as the main antagonist and Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, Darshana Rajendran, Rajive Menon, Revathi and more in key roles.  

Speaking about the film in Patriot Legends Hangout, Mammootty said that the project is designed to demonstrate that the Malayalam film industry can mount stories on a scale comparable to other major film industries. He said, “It will demonstrate that Malayalam cinema can also make a movie on such a massive canvas, like how Hollywood, Bollywood, Telugu and Tamil industries have been doing for the longest time. It will give the feeling that the film has been mounted on a significantly larger scale than it actually has been.”
