Excitement builds in the Malayalam film industry as director Tharun Moorthy confirms his reunion with superstar Mohanlal for a new project. The announcement comes after their previous collaboration, the thriller 'Thudarum', achieved massive success in 2025.
Official Start Date Revealed
Tharun Moorthy shared important news about the film on Friday, January 16. He posted pictures from the switch-on ceremony on his Instagram account. The director included a cryptic note with the hashtag #L, revealing the production schedule.
"Every film of mine begins at Vaikom Mahadeva Temple," Moorthy wrote in his post. "My art, my writing—everything was born here. There is no greater bliss than starting again from this sacred place. Officially from January 23. Switch on. Let's roll."
Creative Team Assembled
The upcoming film brings together a talented crew. Scriptwriter Ratheesh Ravi will handle the screenplay, bringing experience from successful films like 'Ishq', 'Adi', and 'Alappuzha Jimkhana'. Cinematographer Shaji Kumar joins the project to capture the visual elements.
Production makers expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. "When a storyteller and a legend meet again, a universe stirs," they stated. "After Thudarum, Tharun Moorthy and Mohanlal embark on another voyage."
Cast and Production Details
Reports suggest actress Meera Jasmine may play a lead role in the film. The production team plans to begin shooting in Thodupuzha. More information about the complete cast and crew will emerge once filming commences.
The Tharun Moorthy-Mohanlal partnership follows their critically acclaimed work in 'Thudarum'. That film featured Mohanlal and Shobana in lead roles and became one of 2025's biggest blockbusters. Moorthy first confirmed their new collaboration in December.
Mohanlal's Upcoming Projects
Meanwhile, Mohanlal prepares for another major release. He will appear in 'Drishyam 3', the third installment of the popular franchise. Director Jeethu Joseph helms the project, scheduled for theatrical release on April 2.
Fans eagerly await both productions, anticipating another successful partnership between Tharun Moorthy and the legendary actor. The January 23 start date marks the beginning of what many hope will be another cinematic triumph.
