This ambitious schedule underscores his enduring prominence in the industry. Production has already commenced on the initial project, with several others slated to begin shortly, promising a steady stream of releases for his fans.
Current Shoot: 'L366' with Director Tharun Moorthy
Presently, Mohanlal is deeply engaged in filming 'L366', a project helmed by director Tharun Moorthy. This collaboration marks a reunion for the actor-director duo following their previous successful work. In this film, Mohanlal portrays TS Lovelajan, a police officer, bringing his signature intensity to the role. Shooting is actively underway and is anticipated to conclude by May 2024.
The narrative for 'L366' is crafted by writer Ratheesh Ravi, with cinematography managed by Shaji Kumar. Adding to the creative team, Jakes Bejoy is responsible for composing the music, ensuring a rich auditory experience to complement the visual storytelling.
Upcoming Major Projects and Director Collaborations
Following the completion of 'L366', Mohanlal will immediately transition to another significant venture, tentatively titled 'L367', directed by Vishnu Mohan. This film is being produced on a grand scale and may feature actors from various Indian film industries, highlighting its pan-Indian appeal. Vishnu Mohan is serving as both writer and director for this project.
Beyond this, Mohanlal has secured films with several acclaimed directors, including Priyadarshan, Dileesh Pothan, Sathyan Anthikad, Jude Anthany Joseph, and Jeethu Joseph. Notably, some of these partnerships are first-time collaborations, generating considerable excitement.

Mohanlal will reunite with Sathyan Anthikad, and his project with Dileesh Pothan is rumored to boast an extensive ensemble cast. Another pivotal undertaking is with Jeethu Joseph, planned after the completion of the 'Drishyam 3' series, continuing their successful partnership.
Expanding Horizons: Telugu Cinema Debut
In addition to his Malayalam commitments, Mohanlal has signed a major Telugu film, demonstrating his readiness to connect with a broader audience across South India. This move signals his strategic expansion into other regional film markets, potentially elevating his national profile.
