Mohanlal is one of the busiest stars in the tinsel town. With Odiyan and Neerali shaping up swiftly, we hear that the star getting ready for another project. He will be joining the sets of the Bhadran directorial, which is a road movie. Based on a real life incident, the film will have all the commercial elements that are sure to have the audiences glued to their seats, say sources close to the film unit.
As reported in the Times of India, director Bhadran had said, “He is well versed in Malayalam, Hindi, English and many other languages. He travels a lot and based on the place he is in at a given time, he uses his skills to blend in accordingly. It's a powerful character and like Aadu Thoma in Spadikam, he has a gentle heart and at the same time is a rough and tough guy.” The film, which has not been titled yet, will go on to the floors in April this year. By then, Mohanlal would’ve completed both the current projects on hands – Odiyan and Neerali.
