Athimanoharam: Director Tharun Moorthy rejects claims of Mohanlal starrer being halted
Taking to his social media handle, Tharun Moorthy penned, “Dear friends, I am receiving many messages and calls regarding online news claiming that our shoot has been stopped due to confusion in the script. This is completely false. We have been shooting here in Thodupuzha for the past 78 days. Yes, the rain and weather conditions have affected some of our plans, but our team is working hard to overcome every challenge and continue filming with great enthusiasm and positivity.”
He added, “I kindly request everyone not to post or spread unverified information for personal likes, views, or reach. Such misinformation can create unnecessary confusion among the audience and affect the efforts of the entire team. Thank you for your understanding and support.”
Athimanoharam, starring Lalettan in the lead role, features him as an officer. With a screenplay penned by Ratheesh Ravi, the film also marks Meera Jasmine’s return to a lead role opposite Mohanlal after several years. She had previously made a cameo appearance alongside the actor in Hridayapoorvam.
Initially, the project was announced as L365, with Thallumaala actor Austin Das attached as the director. However, due to creative differences, he was replaced by Tharun Moorthy, transforming the project into a new film distinct from its original version.
Mohanlal’s work front
Mohanlal was last seen in the lead role in Drishyam 3. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the crime drama continues the story of Georgekutty as he once again deals with the consequences of a case from his past.
Apart from the Big M, the film also featured Meena, Ansiba Haasan, Esther Anil, Asha Sarath, Murali Gopy, and several others in key roles.
Looking ahead, Mohanlal has also announced projects such as L367 and a film with Priyadarshan, which will mark the director’s 100th directorial venture. The superstar is also expected to make cameo appearances in films such as Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer Khalifa: Part 1, and his daughter Vismaya Mohanlal’s debut film, Thudakkam.
