After a long gap of 12 years, Mohanlal and Shaji Kailas will be collaborating for this untitled project. Shaji is known for his unapologetic, out-and-out masala entertainers and has cast Mohanlal in seven films in the past, including popular movies such as Aaram Thamburan and Narasimham. The duo’s last collaboration was Red Chillies, which came out in 2009.

Currently, Mohanlal is camping in Idukki, shooting for his upcoming film 12th Man. Written and directed by Jeethu Joseph, the film is billed as a mystery thriller. The film also stars Unni Mukundan, Anusree, Aditi Ravi, Leona Lishoy, Veena Nandakumar, Shine Tom Chacko, Saiju Kurup, Santhi Priya, Priyanka Nair, and Sshivada.

Earlier this month before joining the sets of 12th Man, Mohanlal had completed Bro Daddy, which is Prithviraj’s second consecutive directorial outing with Mohanlal. Prithviraj had earlier made his directorial debut with box office hit Lucifer (2019), starring Mohanlal in the lead role.
In October, Mohanlal will join Shaji Kailas’ movie after completing 12th Man. He also has a film with director VA Shrikumar Menon titled Mission Konkan in his pipeline.

Mohanlal is looking forward for the release of his magnum opus Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham. The period drama is written and directed by Priyadarshan and has been delayed by more than a year. Moreover, his other film Aaraattu, which is directed by B Unnikrishnan, is also ready to hit the screens soon.
