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.

An ode to Malayalam's newfound audience


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.
