by

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I admire Mohanlal’s commitment and passion towards his craft, especially evident in his recent film Barroz. Despite the initial underwhelming response at the box office, it is clear that this movie was more than just a money-making venture for the superstar.

Mohanlal’s approach to this project, viewing it as a gift to his fans and audience, showcases a level of humility and gratitude that is rare in today’s industry. His dedication to creating a family-friendly film, one that can be enjoyed by all generations, is truly commendable.

Moreover, the fact that Mohanlal took up this project unexpectedly, and despite the long production timeline and delays due to the pandemic, speaks volumes about his resilience and commitment. The collaborative effort put into this film, which spanned over 1650 days, could potentially lead to more exciting projects in the future.

In terms of the movie’s plot, Barroz offers a fresh take on children’s fantasy flicks, focusing on a spirit guardian and a treasure that spans generations. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing how this story unfolds with Mohanlal leading the cast.

On a lighter note, it seems Mohanlal is not just a superstar on the big screen but also in the kitchen! I heard he’s been working on some secret recipes during his downtime. Maybe one day we’ll get to taste a ‘Mohanlal Masala’ or ‘Lal’s Laddoo’!

This year, Mohanlal made his cinematic return with the movie “Barroz,” which also served as the directorial premiere for the esteemed actor. The film premiered on Christmas day, but unfortunately, it received lukewarm responses from viewers, potentially impacting its earnings at the box office.

In a chat with India Today, Mohanlal personally shared his thoughts on the movie’s box office performance. The actor expressed that he’s not focused on the earnings, instead stating, “This movie isn’t about numbers or money. My goal was to create something and share it with the audience. This is a token of my appreciation for their support over the past 47 years. It’s a gift, an offering from me to them. I’ve made a family-friendly film that can be enjoyed by all ages.

Initially, the superstar hadn’t planned on directing the movie; instead, the choice to do so took him by surprise. Furthermore, Mohanlal expressed that this film presents a unique narrative style, transforming it into a visually captivating story that resonates with audiences globally.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the actor disclosed the movie has been under development for over four years, a period extended by the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, this extended production timeline allowed those involved in the project to bond closely, potentially paving the way for more exciting collaborations down the line.

In simpler terms, the animated movie “Barroz” is a captivating tale for kids that revolves around a 400-year-old guardian spirit of a hidden treasure. The story unfolds as Barroz, a faithful servant to the Da Gama kings, protects this wealth until a member of the royal family, their rightful heir, comes looking for it.

Over time, a young girl is expected to inherit the treasure, potentially allowing Barroz to carry out his obligation. In this movie, Mohanlal takes the main role, with significant appearances by Maya Rao West, Cesar Lorente Raton, Ignacio Mateos, Kallirroi Tziafeta, Nerea Camacho, and numerous others.

In terms of his upcoming projects, the renowned actor Mohanlal will grace the silver screen again in January 2025, starring in the film “Thudarum,” directed by Tharun Moorthy. Furthermore, he’s also working on the much-awaited sequel titled “L2: Empuraan.
