The movie revolves around a spirit guardian who has been protecting a treasure for 400 years. Entrusted with the task of handing over the treasure to the true descendant of Vasco da Gama, the story unfolds against the backdrop of Portuguese culture and da Gama's legacy.
Based on the novel of the same name by Jijo Punnoose, the film was initially announced in 2019. However, production began only in 2021 and faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming resumed in December 2021 and wrapped up in 2022, but the movie faced multiple postponements, stuck in development hell before its release.
Besides Mohanlal, the film features a talented cast, including Maya, Cesar Lorente Raton, Kallirroi Tziafeta, Tuhin Menon, and Guru Somasundaram in key roles.
Looking ahead, Mohanlal has an exciting slate of releases lined up for 2025, including Thudarum and the highly anticipated L2: Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. Additionally, he is playing a significant role in Mammootty's magnum opus, tentatively titled MMMN.
