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.
