Mohanlal was recently seen playing the lead role in Barroz, marking his debut as a director. The film, which had been in the making, was a children’s fantasy flick based on a book of the same title.
The film, set against the backdrop of Portuguese royalty, follows the tale of Barroz, a loyal lieutenant of the Da Gama kings. His leader entrusted him with safeguarding a vast amount of treasure and only giving it to a descendant of Da Gama.
Keeping his word, Barroz stands guard of the treasure for 400 years, becoming a spirit guardian awaiting the Da Gama descendant. The rest of the film focuses on how Barroz passes on the treasure and whether he can return to his spirit world, fulfilling his duty.
In addition to Mohanlal, the movie also starred Maya Rao West, Cesar Lorente Raton, Ignacio Mateos, Kallirroi Tziafeta, Nerea Camacho, Tuhin Menon, and others in key roles.
Moving ahead, Mohanlal is next set to appear in the lead role of Thudarum, co-starring once again alongside veteran actress Shobana. The film, directed by Tharun Moorthy, is said to feature the actor as a taxi driver.
The actor also has films like L2: Empuraan, Ram, the tentatively titled MMMN, and Aavesham director Jithu Madhavan’s next in the pipeline.
