Mohanlal is all set to hit the big screen with fantasy action drama Vrishabh. The actor had earlier announced his next film, which was tentatively titled L365, but now there seems to be a change in the director and story.
L365: Mohanlal reunites with Thudram director Tharun Murthy
In an official post, the makers of L365 announced that Thudaaram director Tharun Moorthy will direct Mohanlal’s film. The production house had earlier revealed that the film will be directed by Austin Dan Thomas, marking his directorial debut after appearing as co-star in Thallumala.
Sharing the update, the makers wrote, “When a storyteller and a legend meet again, the universe goes awry. After Thudaram, Tharun Murthy and Mohanlal embark on another journey with the vision of Aashiq Usman Productions. With your blessings, we begin to weave another tale of hearts and horizons.”
Notably, Austin has also deactivated his social media handles, and the production house has deleted every post related to the previously announced project.
Watch the announcement here:
In an interview with Reporter TV, producer Aashiq Usman revealed that the film will have a new theme and will not be the initially planned police-comedy drama.
Apparently, the actor and team were not satisfied with Austin’s final statement, causing them to make a new creative decision and shelve the initial project. The new film will also be written by Satish Kurup.
Furthermore, the producer revealed that Tharun’s next film, Torpedo, starring Fahadh Faasil, Naslane and Arjun Das, will go on floors only after the shooting of the Mohanlal starrer is completed.
