Mohanlal and Blessy to Join Hands After 13 Years for a New Film

Malayalam cinema icon Mohanlal is reportedly set to collaborate with acclaimed filmmaker Blessy after a gap of 13 years. This upcoming venture will mark their fourth partnership following the success of Thanmathra, Bhramaram, and Pranayam.

Sources reveal that the untitled project will be an emotional drama, with the script written by actor-writer Shankar Ramakrishnan, while the story is crafted by newcomer Irfan Mohammed. Notably, this will be the first time Blessy is directing a film that is not written by himself. Adding to the intrigue, Mohanlal is rumored to be playing a grey-shaded character, a rare move for the veteran actor.

The film is expected to be shot extensively in Thrissur and other scenic locations across Kerala. Although an official announcement is awaited, reports suggest that pre-production is already underway, with more updates expected soon.

This collaboration has been in discussions for a while but was delayed due to the prolonged production of Blessy’s critically acclaimed film Aadujeevitham, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran. If everything falls into place, this project will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated films in Mohanlal’s stellar lineup for 2025.
