So far the actor had two releases this year and both films have managed to create box office records. He began the year with the much hyped and anticipated film Lucifer 2. The film directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran saw Mohanlal return as Stephen Nedumpally and his alter ego Ibrahim Qureshi. The film, despite mixed reviews, became the highest grossing Malayalam film ever.
Mohanlal followed a grand film like L2: Empuraan with a rooted film like Thudarum. The film was touted as a comeback of Mohanlal as it reminded one of his early day performances. Directed by Tharun Moorthy, the film drew audiences to the theatres with midnight shows displaying the houseful signs. The film created history by becoming the first Malayalam film crossing Rs 100 crore at the Kerala box office.
There is no stopping the superstar who continues to experiment with genres and set movie standards. Mohanlal recently took to Instagram to share two pictures marking the completion of his film, Hridayapoorvam.
"Hridayapoorvam" is directed by Sathyan Anthikad. It is based on a story by Anthikad's son Akhil Sathyan. The film features Mohanlal, Malavika Mohanan, Sangita Madhavan Nair, Sangeeth Prathap, Siddique, Sabitha Anand, Baburaj, Nishan, Lalu Alex, Janardhanan and S. P. Charan.
