The popular Malayalam actor Mohanlal is planning a total career transition and has some very intriguing projects in the works. Due to his recent theatrical failures, like Aaraattu and Monster, the veteran actor is currently going through a difficult period in his acting career. Mohanlal is also being chastised by his followers and Malayalam filmgoers for ignoring the industry's emerging talent in favour of formula films. But the veteran actor is now prepared for a new chapter.
According to recent rumours, Mohanlal would collaborate on a Malayalam movie with the Kumbalangi Nights team. The highly acclaimed film's writer and director, Syam Pushkaran and Madhu C Narayanan, reportedly approached the actor to take the lead part in their upcoming project. The tale premise reportedly really intrigued Mohanlal, who has already approved the project. The rumour mill also says that the writer-director team and National Award-winning actor may launch the project soon.
Kumbalangi Nights, directed by Madhu C Narayanan, is unquestionably one of the most beloved Malayalam films of recent times. The movie's story, script, and dialogue were written by Syam Pushkaran. Fahadh Faasil, Soubin Shahir, Anna Ben, Shane Nigam, Grace Antony, Sreenath Bhasi, and other A-list actors were among the cast members. Four Kerala State Film Awards were among the several honours and awards bestowed on the film.
Mohanlal announced his first collaboration with famous filmmaker Lijo Jose Pellissery via social media. The actor-director combination is working on an action drama that will start shooting soon. According to rumours, Mohanlal will portray the wrestler Chembothu Simon in the movie, which would be extensively shot in places throughout Kerala, Rajasthan, and Andhra Pradesh. Mohanlal will join the production of L2 Empuraan, the Prithviraj Sukumaran-starrer that is a follow-up to their 2019 hit Lucifer, after finishing the untitled movie.
