Anwar Rasheed, the director of the mega hit movie Rajamaanikyam, turns up with a film 'Chotta Mumbai' this year. His new film is planned as a racy thriller with Mohanlal in the lead. The film is scripted by the director himself .

Mohanlal plays the role of Vascodagama alias Munnabhai. His father wants him to become a hero, hence has named him Vasco De Gama. But he insists on wasting his life by playing with kids and doing nothing useful in particular.

Bhavana plays the role of an auto rickshaw driver in the film. 

The star cast include Jagathy Sreekumar, Siddique and Indrajeet. The director promises that 'Chota Mumbai' filled with humor and action will be an out-and-out entertainer like 'Rajamanikyam'. The film is expected to hit theaters by the first week of March.
