Evergreen reunion of Mohanlal and Shobhana after 15 years

The reunion of the iconic duo Mohanlal and Shobhana indeed evokes nostalgia from the golden era of Malayalam cinema in the 80s and 90s. Although they last shared the screen in the 2009 movie Sagar Alias Jacky, they weren't paired opposite each other in that film. The 2004 movie Mampazhakkalam was the last time Mohanlal and Shobhana acted as a pair. 

While the genre of their upcoming movie remains undisclosed, Tharun Moorthy has demonstrated his ability to deliver good movies in different genres with his previous films. With Mohanlal on board, expectations are soaring high for yet another memorable cinematic experience.

Empuran updates

Empuran marks Mohanlal's third collaboration with Prithviraj as the director, serving as the magnum opus sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer. The film has an ensemble cast including Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, Prithviraj, Tovino Thomas, Indrajith, Saniya Iyappan, and more. 

After completing schedules in Gujarat, the UK, and the US, the team is now gearing up for shooting in Trivandrum, Kerala. During the break before the next schedule, Mohanlal will be working on Tharun Moorthy's movie. Empuran is aiming for a summer 2025 release.
