Still from Hridayapoorvam
After two back-to-back hits with L2: Empuraan and Thudarum, Mohanlal is gearing up for his next titled Hridayapoorvam. The makers have now released the teaser of the film. The film marks the reunion of the superstar and director Sathyan Anthikad after almost 10 years. Hridayapoorvam also stars Malavika Mohanan, Sangeeth Prathap, Sangita, Siddique, Nishan, Baburaj, Lalu Alex and Janardhanan in prominent roles.
Sathyan Anthikad is known for his light-hearted slice-of-life dramas and has given several hits over the past four decades. The teaser of his next opens on a hilarious note making an observation on the growing love for Malayalam cinema among non-Keralites.
The opening scene of the teaser features a scene where a college student expresses his admiration for actor Fahadh Faasil after learning that Mohanlal's character is from Kerala. Mohanlal's character, however, seems less than amused, pointing out that there are several senior actors deserving of praise, but the visitor insists Faasil is the best, much to his displeasure. In a fourth wall-breaking moment, Mohanlal hilariously walks away when the student expresses love only to FaFa.
Taking to his Instagram handle, Mohanlal shared the teaser of 'Hridayapoorvam' on Saturday.
The story of the film is penned by Akhil Sathyan, while the screenplay & Dialogues have been penned by Sonu TP. The music of the film is composed by Justin Prabhakaran. The film is produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. The movie is slated to hit theatres on August 28, 2025.
Meanwhile, Mohanlal recently confirmed the release date of his film Drishyam 3.
'Drishyam' chronicles the struggle of Georgekutty, played by Mohanlal, and his family, who come under suspicion when the son of the Inspector General of Police is killed. The first part was released in 2013, while the second part came out in 2021.
The success of Drishyam led to its remake in several languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
In Bollywood, Ajay Devgn headlined the franchise.
