Mohanlal Barroz Release Date
Originally announced to premiere during the Onam season. “Barroz” had a different star cast when filming began in 2021, following the first wave of the pandemic. The movie was set to feature several renowned Malayalam actors. Including the late Pratap Pothen and Prithviraj Sukumaran, in significant roles.
However, the second wave of the pandemic caused further delays, prompting director Mohanlal to make the tough decision to scrap the previously shot scenes and restart filming with a new cast. Although initially scheduled for a March 28 release, extended post-production work necessitated a delay. The filmmakers have now confirmed that the movie will be an Onam release.
