Mohanlal-B Unnikrishnan film to be made on a budget of Rs 30 crores

Director B Unnikrishnan had recently confirmed that his next film is with superstar Mohanlal. Udhayakrishna is scripting the film, which is scheduled to go on floors in November. The makers are planning a rustic entertainer that will have all the necessary commercial ingredients in it. The film will be made on a budget of around Rs 30 crores.

It has been a while since Mohanlal has done a village-based role, so the makers are hopeful that the film will click among the masses.

Among the four films, ‘Madambi’ was a rustic entertainer that revolved around family relationships.

Since the trio of B Unnikrishnan, Mohnalal and Udhayakrishna are joining hands for the first time, expectations will be high, particularly among the fans of mass masala entertainers. Shoot is slated to begin soon after Mohanlal wraps up ‘Drishyam 2’.

Unfortunately, the test results this time came back positive and I have gone into isolation. I’m asymptomatic and am doing fine now. All primary and secondary contacts have been advised to isolate and get tested. Hoping to recover soon and get back to work ASAP. Cheers and thanks for the love and concern. ?
