A still from DoublesMammootty and Nadia Moidu play twins -- Giri and Gouri -- in debutant director Sohan Seenulal's Malayalam film Doubles. The shooting of the film has been completed in Pondicherry and the film is ready for release.

Nadia Moidu, who won accolades as a bubbly young girl in Fazil's Nokketha Doorathu Kannum Nattu (1984), had been away from Malayalam cinema for a while now. She has done some well appreciated roles in Tamil during the recent years. 

Doubles is being produced by K K Narayanadas under the banner Reels on Wheels. The cinematographer is P Sukumar and the music director is James Vasanthan. Sachi and Sethu, the scenarists of films like Chocolate, Robin Hood and Makeup Man, have written the script.

Tapsee, who was recently seen in Tamil film Aadukalam,  is also a part of th film's cast.

Things take a different turn in the lives of the twins, who run a rescue unit for accident victims, when a third person comes in between them.

Mammootty, whose recent film August 15 did not make much of an impression on the audience, expects Doubles to do well.

Mammootty and Nadia Moidu have acted together earlier in films like Shyama (1985) and Poovinu Puthiya Poonthennal (1986).
