Mohanlal’s work front
On the work front, Mohanlal was last seen in a cameo role in the Malayalam film Thudakkam, directed by Jude Anthany Joseph. The film also marks the debut of Mohanlal’s daughter, Vismaya Mohanlal. His upcoming project includes Malayalam cop-drama Athimanoharam, directed by Tharun Moorthy. The film also features Jagadish and Meera Jasmine in key roles.

Athimanoharam is scheduled to hit theatres on December 24. The film is written by Ratheesh Ravi and the cinematography is done by Shaji Kumar. It is produced by Ashiq Usman under his banner, Ashiq Usman Productions. It must be noted that the film will clash at the box office with Shah Rukh Khan’s much-anticipated film King and will release while Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday is already running in theatres.
