Filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan, who is directing Patriot, confirmed the news in an interview with OnManorama. “We’re all thrilled to have Mammookka back on set," he said, adding that the team is eager to continue filming with the veteran star. The actor had taken a break for a few months due to a health scare, but later resumed work on the sets of Patriot.

The source further revealed, “Chitrangada Singh will also be the part of this second schedule. The recce has been done already but the details on the exact locations are still under wraps."
