Sharing the news with the official poster of the film, Ajai Vasudev seemed ecstatic.

Masterpiece also featured actors like Gokul Suresh, Lena, Megha Mathew, Mahima Nambiar, and Santosh Pandit among others. The Malayalam film, bankrolled by Royal Cinemas, marked Ajai Vasudev and Mammootty's second collaboration after the success of their film Rajadhi Raja (2014). Masterpiece upon release was panned by the critics. However, the Mammootty starrer reportedly collected about Rs. 40 crores at the box office. 

Meanwhile, Mammootty was last seen in Ajai Vasudev's Shylock. The movie, starring Mammootty, Meena, Raj Kiran in the lead, narrates the tale of a money lender and a movie fanatic. The Mammootty starrer released early this year and reportedly collected Rs 50 crores at the box office.
