The actor shared the update directly on his social media timelines, posting: '#L368 Shoot in progress...#AnoopSathyan #BinuGeorgeAlexander #AntonyPerumbavoor.'
The Launch and First Look
The film had earlier gone on floors in Kochi with a traditional pooja ceremony attended by a number of celebrities along with the full crew. The official launch saw the mother of producer Binu George Alexander light the traditional lamp, marking an auspicious start to the project. Mohanlal himself clapped the clapboard for the first symbolic shot, drawing enthusiasm from the dignitaries present.
On the occasion, the makers released the film's first look poster, which depicted Mohanlal seated beside a little girl with a warm smile, while another small child leaned on his back holding a paper toy — a visual that hints at a warm, family-oriented tone.
What to Expect from #L368
According to sources, #L368 will be a comedy action entertainer. Notably, actor Mukesh is set to play a pivotal role in the film. This will mark director Anoop Sathyan's second feature after his well-received debut 'Varane Avashyamund' (2021), making it a closely watched project among Malayalam cinema enthusiasts.
During the launch event, Mohanlal spoke warmly about his association with the director's family, noting his long-standing working relationship with Anoop Sathyan's father, veteran director Sathyan Anthikad. 'It is like a wonderful journey and I am happy to continue it with his son,' Mohanlal said, adding, 'There are all indications that it will emerge as a good film.'
The Technical Team Behind #L368
The film boasts a well-assembled technical crew. Written and directed by Anoop Sathyan, it will feature cinematography by Shehnad Jalal and music composed by Jakes Bejoy. Prasanth Madhav is handling art direction, while action sequences will be choreographed by veteran stunt coordinator Stunt Silva. Producer Binu George Alexander and Antony Perumbavoor are backing the project.
What's Next
With regular shooting now confirmed to be in progress, audiences and trade watchers will be keenly watching for further updates on the cast, title reveal, and a possible release window for what could be one of the bigger Malayalam releases in the coming months.
Point of View
Rooted in the Sathyan Anthikad lineage, is now taking tangible shape. Anoop Sathyan's debut 'Varane Avashyamund' was a quiet but commercially smart film, and pairing him again with Mohanlal in the comedy-action space is a calculated bet. With Jakes Bejoy on music and Stunt Silva on action, the technical spine is credible. The real question is whether the title reveal and casting announcements will sustain the momentum of fan interest built by the first look poster.
