Veteran director Sathyan Anthikad has a special reputation in the Malayalam film industry. Invariably, he has powerful women characters in all his films; Bhagyadevatha,Innathe Chintha Vishayam, Vinodayathra,Rasathanthram, Achuvinte Amma andManassinakkare, all had women at the epicentre of his films' plots!

All his heroines -- Asin, Nayanthara, Meera Jasmine and recently Kanihaa -- instantly became immensely popular after his films.
 
The latest in the list of his lucky heroines will be actress-singer Mamta Mohandas, who is on the comeback trail in Malayalam.

According to sources, Mamta will be the heroine in Sathyan Anthikad's new untitled film with Jayaram as hero. Notably, Archana Kavi of Neelathamara reputation was the first pick of the director and Kavya Madhavan also tried her best to bag this role. However, Lady Luck blessed Mamta this time! The shoot will start by the middle of January.
