Mohanlal's film shelved for now?

Of the two films that Malayalam megastar Mohanlal had scheduled for 2020, both have been stuck for the same reason – the ongoing corona pandemic. The first of the releases – Marakkar- Lion of the Arabian Sea- would have in normal course been released two months ago. The star cast is impressive for this film with Sunil Shetty, Arjun Sarja and Prabhu rubbing shoulders with Mohanlal in the historical epic war film, as it has been advertised.

Jeethu Joseph had planned the second one - an action thriller – Ram - with the star and it had Trisha Krishnan and Prithviraj essaying important roles. The original release schedule was by the second half of the year. Other than the southern stars, it had the renowned Adil Hussain also to be featured in a pivotal slot.However, despite permissions accorded for taking up shooting, the present film requires more shooting to be completed at London, which is not possible in the present circumstances. In a counter move, reports say, Joseph has now put together a quickie project to be taken up at short notice.
