L365: After two blockbuster films, Mohanlal’s fans were eagerly waiting for a film in which he would act. Along with Mohanlal’s name, the names of many notable directors of the young generation have been heard recently. All the information circulated on social media was in the name of upcoming projects.
But none of them reached the official announcement. After waiting, Mohanlal’s film with a debutant director was announced yesterday. The film, directed by Austin Dan Thomas, is being produced by Aashiq Usman. The 365th film in Mohanlal’s career is one that is very much expected by fans.
Reports say that this is a thriller film with a comedy element. This is the film in which Mohanlal will be seen playing the role of a police officer. The project announcement poster that was released yesterday had a police uniform on it. It is suggested that this will be an SI character. Although Mohanlal has recently played police officer roles (Monster, Twelfth Man), he has not played a character who wears a uniform throughout for a long time. Since the poster includes a uniform, it is likely that the appearance of the hero in the new film will be like that.
