The much-awaited trailer for superstar Mohanlal's upcoming cinematic venture, 'Vrusshabha', has finally been unveiled, sending waves of excitement through his fanbase and cinephiles alike. The preview sets the stage for a high-octane narrative that seamlessly blends a contemporary father-son drama with the brutal echoes of a regal past life.
A Tale of Two Lifetimes
Directed and written by Nanda Kishore, the trailer introduces Mohanlal as a prosperous businessman in his current avatar. His peaceful life is violently disrupted by recurring visions of a former existence, where he ruled as a powerful king. These are not mere dreams but visceral memories of wars, bloodshed, and a throne under dire threat.
Intriguingly, the past refuses to stay buried. The businessman finds the conflict from his royal life bleeding into his present reality, making him the target of formidable enemies. The central theme is powerfully encapsulated in the film's tagline: "The past never dies, it bleeds into every birth."
The Son's Shield and High-Octane Action
The core emotional anchor of the story is the relationship between Mohanlal's character and his son, portrayed by Samarjit Lankesh. When assassins close in on the father, the son steps forward as his ultimate protector, delivering the defiant line, "Kill me first." This moment triggers a cascade of intense action sequences featuring Samarjit, showcasing his commitment to safeguarding his father at all costs.
The narrative then fluidly shifts to flashbacks, presenting Mohanlal in his full majestic glory as a warrior king, fiercely defending his clan from usurpers. The trailer promises a visual spectacle that bridges two eras through relentless action and deep-seated vengeance.
Star-Studded Cast and Production Powerhouse
Apart from Mohanlal and Samarjit Lankesh, the film boasts a strong ensemble cast including Ragini Dwivedi, Nayan Sarika, Ajay, and Neha Saxena in pivotal roles. 'Vrusshabha' is a joint production venture by Connekkt Media and Balaji Telefilms, marking a significant collaboration in Indian cinema.
The film is strategically scheduled for a Christmas release on December 25, 2025. This release caps a remarkable year for Mohanlal, who has already delivered two massive box office hits in 2025: 'L2: Empuraan' and 'Thudarum', both ranking among the highest-grossing Malayalam films of the year. His last release, 'Hridayapoorvam', faced stiff competition but still secured the position of the fourth highest-grossing Malayalam film of 2025.
With its intriguing premise of reincarnation and retribution, coupled with Mohanlal's commanding screen presence, 'Vrusshabha' is poised to be a major theatrical event, concluding the year with a potent mix of emotion and adrenaline.
