Mohanlal just dropped a date. And Malayalam cinema lit up.
š December 24, 2026.
That's when Athimanoharam lands in theatres.
His caption was simple. Almost poetic.
"His world begins and ends with the people he calls family ā¤ļø"
But here's the part that makes you pause.
This isn't just another release.
It's his 366th film.
One for every day of the year. Literally.
The last time Mohanlal teamed up with director Tharun Moorthy, something wild happened.
They made Thudarum.
And Thudarum didn't just do well. It detonated.
So when these two said let's do it againā¦ the industry leaned in.
That's Mohanlal's character. The first look dropped on Vishu earlier this year.
And opposite him? Meera Jasmine is back.
The two haven't shared screen space since Innathe Chintha Vishayam. That's a long wait, finally ending.
The Thudarum band is mostly back together too:
Different story. Same chemistry. Same hunger.
Earlier this month, whispers spread online.
The shoot has stopped. There's confusion in the script.
Tharun Moorthy wasn't having it.
He took to Instagram and shut it down hard.
š 78 days of shooting already done in Thodupuzha.
š Rain delays? Yes. Script chaos? Absolutely not.
He even threw a punch at the rumour mill: stop spreading unverified noise for likes and views. It hurts the team. It misleads fans.
Because expectations are brutal this time.
Thudarum set a bar so high, the next move had to be perfect.
A new producer in Ashiq Usman making his first leap with Mohanlal.
A director with one massive hit and everything to prove.
And a superstar who, after 365 films, still walks onto set like he has something to discover.
Christmas Eve 2026.
Malayalam cinema's biggest star. His most anticipated reunion. A festival weekend window.
The stage is set.
That's all for now!
