Wait ends for Mohanlal’s directorial debut Barroz
The long wait for superstar Mohanlal’s maiden directorial, Barroz has finally come to an end. After several postponings, the makers have now confirmed September 12 as the release date. The film, which also stars Mohanlal in the titular role, is a fantasy adventure made for a 3D viewing experience.
Barroz is reportedly set against the backdrop of the maritime history of Portugal, Spain, India and Africa. The film tells the story of Barroz, a mythical figure who was the gaurdian of Vasco da Gama’s valuable treasures for 400 years until his true heir comes back to protect it. The film has several foreign actors as part of the cast. In the crew, Santosh Sivan handles the camera and music is by child prodigy Lydian Nadaswaram. Production design is by Santhosh Raman and edits are handled by B Ajith Kumar.
With Barroz arriving for Onam in September, Mohanlal will have back to back releases. His ongoing film with director Tharun Moorthy, which is tentatively titled L 360, is slated for release in October during the Pooja season.
