Padmakumar directorial and Suresh Babu scripted film Kanal is all set to release on October 21 or may be on 22 and it is their second association with Mohanlal after the super success they got through the 2010 film named Shikkar. It was a revenge thriller which offered Mohanlal a mass as well as a class character to perform. When it comes to Kanal, reports suggesting that this will be another class act from Mohanlal and the writer-director team had really given a class character for Mohanlal to perform at the same time will have elements to thrill the audience. Kanal also seems to be a revenge thriller kind of films as per the reports. Apart from these factors, another factor which attracts the attention of the audience to this film is the Mohanlal-Anoop Menon pair.

Whenever these two actor come together on screen we got some class films. They came together first time in a film long years back. It was a film scripted by Anoop Menon and directed by Rajeev Nath titled as Pakal Nakshatrangal. The film had won great critical appreciation for Mohanlal as his performance in the film was astonishing. Anoop Menon also played a key role in that film even though they do not have much screen space together. Then we saw both of them together in the film directed by Ranjith named Rock N roll which was not a successful one at box office.

The next film in which both these actors came was Pranayam directed by Blessy and for the performance in which Mohanlal was considered as a final round competent in the National Film Award for Best Actor. Anoop Menon also played a fairly good role in the film as the son of Anupam Kher. Then Mohanlal and Anoop Menon acted together in B Unnikrishnan directorial box office hit film Grandmaster and in that too Mohanlal got critical appreciation for his acting skills.

Now Kanal is coming, this time both has almost equal screen space and as per sources both are playing one of the best characters they played recently in their career. Anoop Menon openly said that he is very much influenced by Mohanlal in his acting side. So it will be interesting to watch his performance with Mohanlal from whom he got influenced.
