September 30, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Veteran Malayalam actor Mukesh is going to play the role of a hardcore communist in his upcoming movie titled Priyappetta Nattukare. It will be his first film, where the actor will work as a Communist leader.

Sreejith Palery will be directing the movie, which will be produced under Grammy Entertainments banner. The script of the movie has been penned down by T K Santhosh.

The name of Mukeshs character will be Dasan. The film will deal with the happenings in his life after he realizes the conspiracy behind many party dictums. The shooting for Priyappette Nattukare is expected to start soon.

Mukesh started his acting career in 1982 with the movie Balloon. Following this, the actor has worked in a series of slapstick comedy flicks and most of them were by renowned filmmaker Priyadarshan.
