Famous Spanish actors signed for Mohanlal’s Barroz; Check out this introduction video!

As we already know, Mohanlal is turning a director with a fantasy film titled ‘Barroz’. After four decades of acting, the superstar is finally trying his hand in direction and naturally expectations are huge. Just a while back, Mohanlal shared an introduction video in his social media handle through which he welcomed Spanish actors Rafael Amargo and Paz Vega to ‘Barroz’. Both the actors will be playing prominent roles in the film.

‘Barroz’ is based on a mythical story set in the Portuguese backdrop. It is the story of Barroz, a mythical figure who was the gaurdian of Vasco da Gama’s valuable treasures for 400 years. About the film, Mohanlal is quoted saying, “Barroz is set against the backdrop of the maritime history of Portugal, Spain, India and Africa. It is about the shared heritage that we inherited from our ancestors.”

Jijo Punnoose, the visionary filmmaker who made India’s first 3D film ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’, has penned the story of ‘Barroz’. Besides directing the film, Mohanlal is also playing the titular character. Since it is a global story, several foreign actors are expected to be part of the movie’s cast.

On the technical front, KU Mohanan has been signed as the cinematographer. 13-year-old child prodigy Lydian Nadhaswaram will be composing music for the movie. Lydian, who is a Tamilian by birth, shot to fame when he won the CBS talent show ‘The World’s Best’. It will be interesting to see what kind of music he produces for ‘Barroz’. Since it is a film primarily targeted at the kids and fantasy lovers, Lydian seems to be a a perfect choice.

Antony Perumbavoor is producing ‘Barroz’ under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. The makers are planning to shoot in exotic locations in Goa, Portugal and some other foreign countries. Pre-production works have already commenced and the movie is set to start rolling in October. Besides Malayalam, it will be dubbed and released in all major Indian languages.
