Key Takeaways
Chennai, Jan 29 (NationPress) Malayalam film legend Mohanlal revealed on Thursday that he portrays a character named T S Lovelajan, a police officer, in the highly anticipated film directed by Tharun Moorthy, currently titled #L366.
In a post on his social media accounts, Mohanlal expressed, "Introducing pure love in human form - T.S. Lovelajan." He also unveiled a poster showcasing his character's look. In this poster, Mohanlal dons a policeman's khaki uniform, yet he is seen wearing slippers and carrying his police boots, slightly arching his back, seemingly searching for something or someone.
Just a week prior, the actor had announced his involvement with the film, stating on social media, "Starting this journey with gratitude as I join the sets of #L366. Thankful for all your blessings and prayers."
The film has generated tremendous excitement since it marks the reunion of the acclaimed director and the Malayalam superstar after their successful collaboration on the blockbuster film 'Thudaram'.
Last December, the director, whose film 'Thudaram' became a massive hit, confirmed that he and Mohanlal would collaborate once more.
On his X timeline, Tharun Moorthy shared, "When a storyteller and a legend meet again, a universe stirs. After 'Thudarum', I and @Mohanlal embark on another voyage, carried by the vision of Ashiq Usman Productions. Rolling Soon..."
Now, filming has officially commenced with Mohanlal on set.
For those unfamiliar, 'Thudarum' was a crime action drama featuring Mohanlal and Shobana in lead roles. Directed by Tharun Moorthy, the film created significant buzz among fans for several reasons.
Firstly, it was notable for featuring actress Shobana alongside Mohanlal after a 19-year hiatus, as their pairing is one of the most beloved in Malayalam cinema. Additionally, this film marked Mohanlal’s 360th movie and his 56th collaboration with Shobana.
'Thudarum' broke box office records upon its release last year, grossing over Rs 100 crore in Kerala alone.
Mohanlal shared a poster on social media proclaiming, "A new chapter in Kerala box office history. A 100 crore Kerala gross."
In another post, he added, "#Thudarum storms into the record books with its first 100 crore mark exclusively at the Kerala box office! A milestone that we created together! Thank you, Kerala."
