Barroz: The Guardian of D’Gama’s Treasure explores the maritime history of Portugal, India and Africa. It is likely to be a 3D film, however the makers are yet to release official confirmation.
Ahead of the movie’s launch event, Mohanlal shared a video message, requesting everyone to support him in the new journey he is embarking on as a director.
In the video he said, "In the wonderful paths that life travelled through, I became an actor and a filmmaker, without realizing it. Cinema has become my life and livelihood. Now, I am starting another wonderful journey; with the start of the Barroz shoot on March 24, I am making my directorial debut. It is a blessing that I have Navodaya with me in their venture. I request that you support me as I embark on the Barroz journey."
