Reports suggest that the upcoming film will be a period drama that tells the story of a wrestler. However, there is no confirmation on any of that yet. The film will be bankrolled under the banners of John & Mary Creative, Max Labs, and Century Films. We are sure this actor-directior duo is going to ace it given that the director's film Jallikattu was selected as India's official entry to the Academy Awards last year in 2021.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Mohanlal was last seen in Monster and will next be seen in Shaiji Kailas’ directorial Alone. He also has the Netflix anthology film Olavum Theeravum, Ram which is to be directed by Jeethu Joseph, Lucifer sequel Empuraan, and his much-awaited directorial debut Barroz in the pipeline. Lijo’s is working on the film Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam which will feature Mammootty in the lead role.
