It's official! Director Tharun Moorthy is teaming up again with superstar Mohanlal. Their new project follows the massive success of their previous blockbuster 'Thudarum'. The director himself made the exciting announcement on social media.
Official Announcement on Instagram
Tharun Moorthy shared the news on his Instagram account this Saturday, January 17. He confirmed his collaboration with the legendary actor in a straightforward post. "Yes, it's officially #L366," the director declared. He accompanied this announcement with a photograph showing the completed script for the film.
The caption alongside the script photo revealed an interesting detail about the writing process. It hinted at numerous revisions undertaken to perfect the screenplay. "Write. Rewrite. Write. Rewrite. Finally locked... to rewrite once again," the note read. This suggests the makers have put significant effort into crafting the story.
Production Details and Team
The upcoming film 'L 366' is directed by Tharun Moorthy. The screenplay comes from writer Ratheesh Ravi. Ravi is known for his previous works including 'Pullikaran Stara' featuring Mammootty, and other films like 'Ishq,' 'Adi,' and 'Alappuzha Jimkhana.'
A notable production banner is backing this project. This same banner previously delivered successful films like the gripping Kunchacko Boban thriller 'Anjaam Pathiraa' and Tovino Thomas's 'Thallumaala.' Their involvement adds anticipation for quality production values.
Commencement Ceremony at Temple
The makers officially began production with a switch-on ceremony on Friday, January 16. This event took place at the Vaikom Mahadeva temple. Director Tharun Moorthy shared pictures from this ceremony, though Mohanlal was not present at this initial event.
Tharun Moorthy expressed his personal connection to starting films at this temple. "Every film of mine begins at Vaikom Mahadeva Temple. My art, my writing — everything was born here. There is no greater bliss than starting again from this sacred place," he wrote in a note.
The actor will join the team when actual filming begins on January 23. "Officially from January 23. Switch on. Let's roll. #L," the director added cryptically.
Cast Rumors and Filming Location
The complete cast and crew details have not been officially announced yet. However, multiple unconfirmed reports are circulating about potential cast members. These reports suggest National award-winning actress Meera Jasmine might play the leading female role in the film.
Regarding the filming location, Thodupuzha is said to be the main setting for 'L 366'. This location holds significance as Mohanlal previously filmed his popular 'Drishyam' franchise there. This connection adds an interesting layer for fans familiar with his work.
Tharun Moorthy's Other Project
Meanwhile, Tharun Moorthy has announced another film in development. This project titled 'Operation Cambodia' features actor Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role. The director announced this film back in October 2025.
He expressed excitement about this project, calling it a return to work that was paused earlier. "Back on the hunt, resuming where we paused in 2021. Truly excited to welcome @therealprithvi into the new OPJ franchise – Operation Cambodia," he shared. The project reunites him with several collaborators from previous works.
The entertainment industry watches with anticipation as these two major projects from Tharun Moorthy develop. The reunion with Mohanlal particularly generates excitement given their previous successful collaboration.
